A guide to the best ways to lighten the mood at the office, from fun pranks to strategies for getting revenge on annoying coworkers

Perfect for every cubicle drone whose eyes are beginning to glaze over from fluorescent lighting and too many burned cups of coffee, Cubicle Warfare is a guide to having fun during the daily grind. Readers will learn how to make their coworkers jump, squeal, and run for cover with hilarious office traps such as the Paper Clip Chain and the Post-it Fake Out, as well as the more advanced Freezer Bomb, Foil Office, 5 Blind Mice, and Keyboard Clover. Even if readers are not pranksters themselves, they can still use Cubicle Warfare to recognize warning signs and defend their cubicles from conniving coworkers.

With Cubicle Warfare, dissatisfied office workers can vent their frustrations in fun and harmless ways—and then get back to work.

The Province of Jurisprudence Determined (1832) is a classic of nineteenth-century English jurisprudence, a subject on which Austin had a profound impact. His book is primarily concerned with a meticulous explanation of most of the core concepts of his legal philosophy, including his conception of law, his separation of law and morality, and his theory of sovereignty. Almost a quarter of it consists of an interpretation and defence of the principle of utility. This edition includes the complete and unabridged text of the fifth (1885) and last edition. The comprehensive introduction discusses Austin's life, the main themes of his book, leading criticisms of his ideas, and interpretations of his legal philosophy. The edition also includes a bibliography and biographical synopses of the principal figures mentioned in the text.
