RISKY LIVING is a fascinating collection of candid and intimate conversations with forty-two men and women who describe in gripping detail what it is like to work in dangerous jobs. In the oral history tradition of Studs Terkel, Risky Living takes readers:

--Inside Antron Brown's car as he launches his top fuel drag racer from zero to over 300 miles per hour

--Alongside world champion bull rider Justin McBride as he attempts to stay atop a 1,600-pound beast

--Into fierce street battles in Iraq with soldier Cameron Begbie

--Next to storm chasing videographer Jeff Gammons as he remembers the screams of Hurricane Katrina drowning victims

--Inside an NFL huddle with two-time Pro Bowl player Kassim Osgood

--In the back of a jeep with National Geographic wildlife photographer Andy Casagrande

--Down the shaft with coal miner Jeff Shiner,

--On the ice with hockey great Jeremy Roenick

--Into the swamp with alligator trapper Tredale Boudreaux

--80 stories up with high-rise window washer Walter Diaz

--On the ride of a lifetime aboard the Space Shuttle with astronaut Steven Frick

RISKY LIVING reveals who these daring people are, what they endure for a paycheck, and how they feel about their jobs. They speak for themselves, in their words, and what they have to say reveals much about who they are, what they do, and why they do it.
