This series looks at jobs which involve a high element of danger. Through colour photographs, anecdotes and fact boxes, each book focuses on the risks involved in a dangerous occupation, with detailed information on the rigorous training that prepares men and women for the kinds of risks they will face. The authors also aim to show that discipline, commitment and professionalism are essential qualities. Focusing on the history of stunt performers in films, this book includes chapters on the various kinds of sequences involved, such as high falls, fire scenes and stunts with cars, bikes, planes, boats and animals. An entire chapter is devoted to one of the sequences from "Raiders of the Lost Ark". The author has been a professional stuntman for more than 20 years and has lectured on the subject's history and techniques.
