A century ago, a prospector discovered gold at Ontario’s Kirkland Lake and a son was born to British immigrants in Saskatchewan. The boy – Norman Bell Keevil – went on to become a renowned scientist, teacher, and prospector, discovering a small but high-grade copper mine in Ontario. Parlaying that into control of the Kirkland Lake gold mine fifty years later, he formed the fledgling mining company Teck Corporation. In Never Rest on Your Ores , Keevil’s son Norman, also a geoscientist, recounts how over the next fifty years, a growing team of like-minded engineers and entrepreneurs built Canada’s largest diversified mining company. In candid detail he tells the story of a company and its makers, of the discovery and creation of mines, of the mechanics of industry financing, and of the role that mergers and acquisitions play in a volatile environment. Along the way he meets fascinating captains of industry and politicians not only in Canada, but in the United States and around the world. Finding an ore body – rock that holds valuable metals and minerals – and promoting its development in order to finance and create a mine, most often in hard-to-access wilderness, is complicated work, comparable to locating and extracting a needle in a very messy haystack. Underlying this history is a constant need to replenish the ore, and this need drives the people involved. A detailed and revealing history of a company that he helped to grow and lead for many years, Norman Keevil’s Never Rest on Your Ores is both entertaining and instructive, a rare insider’s account of an industry that has been crucial to the building of this country.

“Hair Loss Dossier” Exposes the Perpetrators of The Big Lie about Hair Restoration and Reveals the Truth About the Real Answers to a Common Problem. The book explains “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly” options to hair loss. According to Dr. Ken Washenik, Bosley Hair Restoration Medical Director, "Hair loss is not life threatening. It's life changing!" A powerful statement summarizes the impact hair loss has on a woman’s self-image, "Losing your hair is like losing a part of your soul!" Although baldness is not funny to those experiencing a vanishing hairline, equally, self-esteem diminishes as does one’s hair. Fact: 50% of men and 40% of women experience this annoying, debilitating condition in their lifetime. The experience can lead to a frantic search for answers and mistaken choices can result in lasting disappointment. The book "pulls back the curtain" on unscrupulous companies that intentionally mislead the public. It exposes the unattractive underbelly of businesses that prey on the hair loss sufferer's insecurities and desperation for a “fix.” The Dossier zeros in on all popular hair treatment claims and dissects the pros and cons of each. Wigs and hairpieces...worn by celebrities, high-profile figures and everyday citizens are critiqued, as are elaborate hair styling techniques, such as the one implemented by the current US President to disguise his hair problem. The real story about hair transplantation as a lifetime answer to thinning hair is revealed, as is the truth about the wealth of temporary treatments that never get to the “root of the problem.” Unfortunately, the public is vulnerable to the relentless marketing of “miracle" products. Most of the information found in the media and online is intended to sell or promote a product or service, often with the implication these are permanent answers to thinning hair or baldness. This exposé will dispel the misinformation that is widely disseminated and provide a message of optimism and a valid treatment strategy for hair loss sufferers. The underlying message is, "There is no cure for baldness, only treatment." Millions of dollars are wasted each year on worthless products. Although this condition is overwhelmingly caused by a genetic predisposition to thinning and balding, the book offers hope and a roadmap to prevent further loss and to encourage growth. Travel on a journey to discover how the choices of hair transplantation, drugs, topical treatments, camouflage products, light therapy and utilizing your own stem cells can work for you. Learn about the pros and cons as the author directs you to pursue a path to what he terms Hair Preservation.
