New Book in the Library: The Relativity Diet: A Diet Theory of Everything
Written by Surgeon Shaun J. Melarvie, MD, on staff at Door County Memorial Hospital
"The Relativity Diet: A Diet Theory of Everything" is in its second printing and has been well-received by its readership since publication in January of this year. The author, Dr. Shaun Melarvie, has been pleased by the feedback he has received, with the consensus being that the book is fun to read and about as page-turning as a "diet book" could be. The truth is that the book isn't written like a conventional diet book. It is more like a philosophy of food and energy, based on science and personal experience, which is written in a conversational narrative that carries the
reader along from the beginning to the end. One reader commented, "The author uses a logical, step by step, scientific approach to a healthy lifestyle, debunking myths and pseudo-science. From the smallest detail, it reveals the mysterious world of quantum physics, re-caps chemistry, and eventually achieves Nirvana." Others have described the book as; "very well written", "a beautiful book" and "I found myself laughing out loud."
You can learn more at the Relativity Blog at www.relativityblog.com or contact a Ministry Librarian to borrow the book.

Book Review: "Generations at Work"
One of my library patrons recently checked out "Generations at Work" by Ron Zemke, Claire Raines, and Bob Filipczak. The book was returned with a note that said "Good Book...unfortunately it doesn't look well used". I have also perused this book and would agree with this patron. "Generations at Work" outlines four generations that are currently in the workforce; Veterans(1922-1943), Baby Boomers(1943-1960), Xers(1961-1980) and Nexters(1980-2000). General traits of each generation are discussed as well as strategies to consider using when interacting with co-workers from each of the generational groups. The book also discusses how to have a strong cross-generational workplace. A must read for anyone who is looking to improve workplace communication and harmony. If you would like to check out this book, contact Deb Knippel at 65091 or Deb.Knippel@ministryhealth.org.
