This book: Candle Making; going from zero to pro. was created with you in mind. It is one of the most explicit books you will find. It is written in 3 sessions.

Since the book meets everyone at their level of experience and expertise, it therefore caters for the need of beginners, people at the intermediate stage and even professionals that need to check up one or two things. The book contains section one which discusses the basics of candle itself. It elaborates on the different types of candle, shapes, sizes, colors, fragrance and many more. The second section is called the preliminary section. It is a build Up from the knowledge of candle and then touches on the fundamentals of the making process. It discusses the information that needs to be known prior to making candles. You know, you don't just dabble into these things, one will have to make background study on the dos and don’ts, the needed instruments, the effect of the different variants of ingredients and what have you. These are the topics on which the second section deals. The final section is what you can call the crux of the book. It is the very part you have been waiting for.

  • Capitalism & Slavery

    Eric Williams

    Paperback (G.P. Putnam's Sons, Jan. 27, 1966)
    An economic study of the role of slavery in providing the capital for the industial revolution and the role of mature industrial capitalism in destroying the slave system.
  • Capitalism and Slavery

    Eric Williams

    Hardcover (The University of North Carolina Press, Oct. 14, 1994)
    Slavery helped finance the Industrial Revolution in England. Plantation owners, shipbuilders, and merchants connected with the slave trade accumulated vast fortunes that established banks and heavy industry in Europe and expanded the reach of capitalism worldwide. Eric Williams advanced these powerful ideas in Capitalism and Slavery, published in 1944. Years ahead of its time, his profound critique became the foundation for studies of imperialism and economic development. Binding an economic view of history with strong moral argument, Williams's study of the role of slavery in financing the Industrial Revolution refuted traditional ideas of economic and moral progress and firmly established the centrality of the African slave trade in European economic development. He also showed that mature industrial capitalism in turn helped destroy the slave system. Establishing the exploitation of commercial capitalism and its link to racial attitudes, Williams employed a historicist vision that set the tone for future studies. In a new introduction, Colin Palmer assesses the lasting impact of Williams's groundbreaking work and analyzes the heated scholarly debates it generated when it first appeared.
