It is now 35 years since Deep Purple first came together and today -- 14 musicians, 17 albums, and millions of record sales later -- the group remains a monster. Smoke on the Water is the first book in more than 20 years to tell the story of this remarkable band, from their grandiose inception in 1968 to the release of their latest album in 2003. Drawing from candid interviews with band members, associates, and fans alike, it traces the group through some of the most turbulent times that any band has survived, placing the band's own music in vivid context and illustrating just how profoundly this one group helped change the world.

I've lived with the stares, whispers, and hateful accusations of small-town gossips for years. Being the sister of the town pariah comes with consequences. But when the petty harassment turns darker, more drastic measures are required. I just didn't expect those measures to include my former high school crush—the golden boy turned smoking hot firefighter—offering protection… as my boyfriend. Are we just pretending, or is this becoming something real? And can it survive the string of arsons that threaten us both?

This text shows that we have the scientific tools to reveal the connection between environment and disease in a way never before possible, and even to predict which chemicals pose the greatest risk. We no longer need to wait for actual human harm as the only proof of harmfulness. Davis describes how the science of environmental epidemiology arose and how environmental toxins affect a broad spectrum of human health, including breast cancer, the health and development of the lungs and even male reproductive capacity. The book shows readers the full picture of how the environment is affecting their health, what they can do about it and why standard approaches to public health need to change.

Love, like magic, can leave you breathless . . . The powers that be dubbed me Willow Black after the black willow tree where I was abandoned. Into foster care I went and in foster care I stayed. No one wants to keep a fey girl who thinks she can see the future in the water—and bring the rain. A stint in the Northern Wisconsin Mental Health Facility brings me face-to-face with the man who’s haunted my visions for a very long time. Sebastian Frasier is not only the facility’s new administrator but my new psychiatrist. Others have tried to convince me that I’m delusional. Been there, done that. Still have visions. Others have given up on me, but not Sebastian. Sebastian lost his sister to madness and it haunts him. His sadness calls to me almost as much as the memories of a love that hasn’t yet happened. Sebastian does his best to logically explain away a few demonstrations of the impossible. But when someone tries to kill me, we have no choice but to run. After that, fighting our intense, mutual attraction, the destiny that beats around us every time that we touch, is impossible. A centuries-old witch hunter intent on killing not only me but the two sisters I didn’t know I had, along with every other witch on earth, has been resurrected. I’m an elemental water witch and once my burgeoning power is combined with that of my sisters—an air witch and a fire witch—we just might be powerful enough to stop what’s coming. An epic battle against certain evil.

The U.S. government, military, and industry once saw ocean incineration as the safest and most efficient way to dispose of hazardous chemical waste. Beginning in the late 1960s, toxic chemicals such as PCBs and other harmful industrial byproducts were taken out to sea to be destroyed in specially designed ships equipped with high-temperature combustion chambers and smokestacks. But public outcry arose after the environmental and health risks of ocean incineration were exposed, and the practice was banned in the early 1990s. Smoke on the Water traces the rise and fall of ocean incineration, showing how a transnational environmental movement tested the limits of U.S. political and economic power. Dario Fazzi examines the anti-ocean-incineration movement that emerged on both sides of the Atlantic, arguing that it succeeded by merging local advocacy with international mobilization. He emphasizes the role played at the grassroots level by women, migrant workers, and other underrepresented groups who were at greatest risk. Environmental groups, for their part, gathered and shared evidence about the harms of at-sea incineration, building scientific consensus and influencing international debates. Smoke on the Water tells the compelling story of a campaign against environmental degradation in which people from marginalized communities took on the might of the U.S. military-industrial complex. It offers new insights into the transnational dimensions of environmental regulation, the significance of nonstate actors in international history, and the making of environmental justice movements.
