Book Description
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.

The ElšserÕs Rise: Return of Khrealis Series
Author: H.M. CapesPublisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1794712550
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
Book one of Return of Khrealis Series, the Elöser's Rise is based on a planet that rotates around the Sun every twenty-two-hundred years and is responsible for seeding Earth with what we call supernaturals. The Galactic Council sends the Elöser to reintroduce a supernatural code of ethics set in place and forgotten almost a century ago. This Khrean sent from the planet Khrealis is scheduled to wake to his true identity very soon; and coming out of hiding after twelve years, Stormy finds herself swept up into his cyclone. Waking, the Elöser waste no time, because as Khrealis makes its twenty-two-hundred-year rotation around the sun, and as this monstrous planet approaches Earth, it does more than affect Earth and the surrounding planets; it causes a metamorphous in the descendants of Earth who were created from the Khreans. While the Elöser is enforcing the code and building the Cerulean Guard, A blast from an ancient past finds his storm and plots revenge while directing the hurricane.

Book Description
John Day (1522-1584) is generally acknowledged to be the foremost English printer of the later sixteenth century. As well as printing some of the most important books of his day, most notably John Foxe's Acts and Monuments, he also pioneered enormous advances in English typography and book illustration. Yet despite his revered position in printing history, this book is the first full-length study to look into Day's life and legacy. Scholars have paid much attention of late to the Acts and Monuments but without placing it within the context of Day's overall business strategy. He was a printer whose success and range of titles, like his connections and influence, went far beyond John Foxe. Day may have gained his notoriety as the printer of Foxe's book but in order to understand both the man and his business, as Evenden shows, we must look at the wider range of Day's productions and the motivation behind them. The study begins by setting Day in the context of the sixteenth-century printing industry, examining his disputed origins and his establishment as a London printer. A number of Day's most celebrated Elizabethan productions are then discussed in detail, in order to understand not only his business strategies but also his religious and political affiliations throughout this period; similarly, Evenden examines his connections with the Stranger communities in London, and how they assisted Day's business and helped to enhance his reputation. Throughout the book it is argued that Day's printing empire and wealth were founded on a combination of two crucial factors: outstanding technical skills, and the ability to attract patrons and patents. Day carried out technically demanding printing assignments (most notably the heavily illustrated Acts and Monuments) for leading Elizabethan statesmen and churchmen and was rewarded with exclusive rights to print more lucrative works such as the ABC, Catechism, and Metrical Psalms. Thus, his success rested on both cheap and exp
