Never Fly Over an Eagle's Nest

Never Under the Table a Story of British Columbia's Forests and Government Mismanagement

Joe Garner

From a stroll through the woods to a death walk down a mountain, from a tool shed to a huge airport, Joe has seen it all, combining determination, enthusiasm and good humour. His previous books (all best sellers) Never Fly Over an Eagle s Nest, Never a Time to Trust, Never Chop Your Rope and Never Under the Table earned him the title as the Never Author, but he's never dull. How could he be with the stories he has to tell of his ener¬getic and action-packed life? Born in 1907, Joe Garner is back with his fifth book. The theme? His pioneer life from his boyhood on Saltspring Island through his youth eking out a living during the Depression of the 1930s, supervising tough wartime con¬struction jobs, operating as many as 20 logging camps and breeding show¬winning cattle on his ranch south of Nanaimo. Never Forget the Good Times highlights parts of his fascinating life he never got around to writing about. It shows the uiiknown side ... Joe Garner, the family man. This latest Garner story is as engaging as the man who can share, but with only a few, the title of Mr. British Columbia.

Soap & Cosmetic Labeling: How to Follow the Rules and Regs Explained in Plain English

Soap and cosmetic recipes have been around for thousands of years. Before the discovery of synthetic scents and colors (ca 1890) and detergents (ca 1930's) nearly all the ingredients used to create soap, cosmetics and perfumes were "natural" (not necessarily SAFE, but certainly derived from natural sources). This book contains over 500 recipes for many different categories of soap and cosmetic products, including soap, creams and lotions, balms and salves, oils, bath fizzies and bombs, salts and soaks, powders, exfoliants and scrubs, clays and masks, perfumes, and products for the hair, teeth and household. There is also a short chapter on the strange and bizarre (not recommended for actual use). The recipes were compiled from antique and vintage books and several websites, focusing on those that made using safe, natural ingredients (recipes containing arsenic, mercury, lead and other toxic materials were not included). The focus of the soap recipes are pre-1930 (before detergents) and a large percentage of the cosmetic recipes are pre-1900. Also included is an extensive glossary of the ingredients used in the recipes provided, along with possible alternative ingredients when the original is exhorbitantly expensive or generally unavailable. These recipes can be used as-is (although not all of them have been tested), or can be used as a starting point for developing unique natural soap and cosmetics formulations of your own.

Crafts & Hobbies

Most people who make handcrafted soaps and cosmetics do so because they want better, safer or more natural products and have a personal passion for what they are doing. They are conscientious in there selection of suppliers and raw materials, creataive in their formulations, careful in their production and, in the end, proud of their finished products. They have control over every phase and aspect of the production cycle, from beginning to end, and are frequently hands-on during the entire process. Large companies, with many empolyees involved in manufacturing tens of hundreds of thousands of product units at a time don't have that same level of "hands-on" or personal passion. With increased levelks of automation and numerous people in the process comes increased possibility for mix0ups or contamination of products - hence the need for detailed and exact procedures that can be double-checked and documented throughout the manufacturing cycle. Out of that need comes the coincept of "good manufacturing practices." Establishing and then following good manufacturing practies in your business is live having and using a GPS navigator to get around town. No matter how familiar you are with the streets, it takes a lot less effort to just follow the directions. The trick, of course, is having all the necessary information in the navigator to start with. That's what GMP is all about - setting yp the navigation system for your production and manufacturing, so you can avoid the potholes and steer clear of the factors that could potentially wreck your product.
