Review
“. . . here is a breakthrough handbook and guide for everyone working in entertainment. This book addresses some of the unique health and safety hazards that present themselves in various entertainment fields, including film, TV, theater, theme parks and parades.”
(American Cinematographer )
From the Publisher
From Greek choruses to Hollywood's state-of-the-art special effects, the world of entertainment has evolved dramatically. With increasingly sophisticated ways to enchant and transfix, the entertainment industry has grown to reach worldwide audiences. Yet under the dazzling surfaces of modern film, television, and theater lie dangers that threaten the very people who labor to entertain us. Chemist, artist, and industrial hygienist Monona Rossol exposes this industry of risk in the breakthrough The Health & Safety Guide for Film, TV & Theater.
From the Author
In an expanded and updated edition of her earlier Stage Fright: Health and Safety in the Theater, the author pierces the mystique of show business. "Theatrical, motion picture, television, and entertainment productions are hazardous endeavors," she writes. "It would be hard to imagine an industry with more hazards."
