    In the book Fatal Chemistry, one gets to know the frightful reality of the rise of fentanyl, which is a synthetic opioid that has changed the face of addiction, broken families, and put the limits of medicine, policy, and even human nature to the test. This book, by its very compelling nature and with the power of the investigative journalists, dives deep into how fentanyl changed from being a breakthrough in medicine to a dangerous drug that is the cause of the drug epidemic in the community worldwide, which is distributed on the streets. 
Aside from the history of the opiates, the dark side of the web in the illegal trade, Fatal Chemistry uncovers the driving forces behind the epidemic that are concealed. You understand how the stress, trauma, and social life problems of the early years lead to addiction – but also realize how science, empathy, and prevention can be the answer to it. 
If so, the person is a medical provider, a policymaker, an educator, or simply someone who wants to know the real story behind the news. Fatal Chemistry is full of both learning and optimism – an uncommon mixture of reality, people's experiences, and useful insights. 
In here, you will find: 
•	The untold history of opioids and the birth of fentanyl 
•	How illicit fentanyl entered the global market — and why it's so deadly 
•	The anatomy of the epidemic and its devastating ripple effects 
•	Real-world approaches to treatment, recovery, and harm reduction 
•	The science behind stress, trauma, and addiction 
•	Proven strategies for overdose prevention and community resilience

    A new concept for understanding the history of the American popular music industry. 
 
 
  
Blacksound explores the sonic history of blackface minstrelsy and the racial foundations of American musical culture from the early 1800s through the turn of the twentieth century. With this namesake book, Matthew D. Morrison develops the concept of "Blacksound" to uncover how the popular music industry and popular entertainment in general in the United States arose out of slavery and blackface. 
 
 
  
Blacksound as an idea is not the music or sounds produced by Black Americans but instead the material and fleeting remnants of their sounds and performances that have been co-opted and amalgamated into popular music. Morrison unpacks the relationship between performance, racial identity, and intellectual property to reveal how blackface minstrelsy scripts became absorbed into commercial entertainment through an unequal system of intellectual property and copyright laws. By introducing this foundational new concept in musicology, Blacksound highlights what is politically at stake—for creators and audiences alike—in revisiting the long history of American popular music.
