Michael Shuler, who resides in a small Midwestern town, has had a lifelong interest in B.F. Skinner and behavior analysis. He was first led to the writings of Skinner and other behavior analysts by an unfavorable article about the noted psychologist titled God Is a Variable Interval. After reading Skinner's Science and Human Behavior, Verbal Behavior, and Beyond Freedom and Dignity, and, over the years, Skinner's complete works (as well as the works of others), he became interested in the possible application of a natural science of behavior toward reducing coercive practices and solving a host of the most dire global problems. This led him to apply this science to his personal and interpersonal life. He received a Baccalaureate Level Behaviorology Certificate and is the archivist for The International Behaviorology Institute. A retired railroad engineer, he also enjoys bicycling, spending quality time with his family, and reading science-related books and journals, especially those concerning relatively new developments in language research involving equivalence relations and relational frame theory. A World of Our Own Making is his first novel. See less
