This Just In!

Two new books in our Adult Nonfiction collection are:

Lean Six Sigma demystified by Jay Arthur

At first I thought it was a book about some kind of exercise program.  It’s actually about a system that will show you how to make your business, “better, faster, cheaper, more productive, and more profitable.”

The other title that caught my eye was, Happy Accidents: Serendipity in Modern Medical Breakthroughs by Morton A. Meyers, M.D.

The book starts with a wonderful dedication, “To my wife, Bea, my greatest serendipitous discovery”.  Meyers talks about how penicillin, chemotherapy drugs, X-rays, and other treatments were discovered accidentally.  He shows that these “accidents” are transformed by the preparation and training of the researchers, who can look at unexpected results and realize what those results imply.

Come on by your favorite branch to enjoy either title!
