There's a comfort in knowing that the ICU exists and could save your life one day... but wouldn't it be better to do everything you can to make sure it never has to? This is a much more realistic option than many people realize-because a lot of the time, the real reason why they end up needing intensive care is to do with a health vulnerability that could have been prevented. By making strategic lifestyle choices, you can not only feel better in everyday life; you can minimize the risk of metabolic syndrome, heart disease, cancer, and many more common health issues that can lead to devastating results. If you suspect your lifestyle might be some way away from being ideal, you might be worried about the amount of change ahead. But the good news is, you don't have to do everything all at once. You can make just a few small changes and start feeling the difference in both your mind and body-and this will motivate you to keep going, until, before you know it, your lifestyle is one that doctors would hold up as exemplary. This isn't just how you avoid the ICU... It's how you feel healthy and strong enough to explore all of life's possibilities for as long as you have on this earth. Written by an experienced ICU doctor who knows exactly what it takes to avoid critical health complications, this clear and comprehensive guide will fill you with inspiration and practical strategies to take control of your health.General adult.

A new kind of diversity : making the different generations on your team a competitive advantage / by Elmore, Tim,author.(CARDINAL)366052; Maxwell, John C.,1947-author of foreword.(CARDINAL)349202;
Includes bibliographical references."The past few years have brought an endless cascade of social media movements that left many of us . . . well . . . scratching our heads. #Occupy Wallstreet. #March For Our Lives. #Black Lives Matter. #MeToo. #ClimateChange. Regardless of how you might feel about these protests, each symbolizes a gap. Despite the perspectives on all sides of these causes, a clear issue remains: There is a huge gap in this country that few are taking seriously. While diversity is usually seen as an ethnic, gender, or income issue-there is a new kind of diversity that only eight percent of U.S. companies even recognize: diverse generations on teams." --Publisher.

The blue plate : a food lover's guide to climate chaos / by Easter, Mark J.,author.; Myint, Anthony,author of foreword.;
The excited skin of the planet -- The unnatural green of desert vegetables -- The salmon forests -- The corn eaters -- Steve's peaches -- The cow in the room -- Cecil's hands -- The feast of the legions -- The blue plate."Do you really know what's for dinner? The Blue Plate is the perfect dinner companion for food lovers who also care about the planet. Ecologist Mark Easter offers a detailed picture of the impact the foods you love have on the earth. Organized by the ingredients of a typical dinner party, including seafood, salad, bread, chicken, steak, potatoes, and fruit pie with ice cream, each chapter examines the food through the lens of the climate crisis. Not a cookbook, but instead, gathered like guests around the table, you will find the stories of these foods: the soil that grew the lettuce, the farmers and ranchers and orchardists who steward the land, the dairy and farm workers and grocers who labor to bring it to the table. Each chapter reveals the causes and effects of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the social and environmental impact of out-of-season and far-from-home demand. What can you do to eat more sustainably? Food lovers everywhere will be happy to know that the answer is not necessarily a plant-based diet. For each food group, Easter offers not recipes but low-carbon, in-season alternatives that make your favorite foods not only more sustainable but also more delicious. The first step, however, is an understanding of how food is grown, produced, harvested, and shipped. In stories both personal and entertaining, the author offers a full understanding of what's for dinner."--Amazon.com.
