Incredible Stunts: The Chaos, Crashes, and Courage of the World's Wildest Stuntmen and Daredevils

''Jeff is the Diane Arbus of the twenty-first century.''
--Vince Streano, photographer and President Emeritus of the American Society of Media Photographers

''In my thirty years of doing stunts, I've never seen stunts captured more perfectly.''
--Dennis Madalone, stunt coordinator for Star Trek and The X-Files

Incredible Stunts is the first full-length photo book of stunts, extreme sports, and daredevil mayhem created for both kids and adults. It contains an amazing collection of images from the exclusive archive of famed action photographer and photojournalist Jeffery R. Werner, who at times had to risk his own life to capture these death-defying images.

The daredevils and eccentrics of Incredible Stunts inhabit a world where motorcycles fly, people dive through flaming infernos and walk on the wings of airplanes, and bodies are shattered more often than records. You'll be awed by the way Werner--who has carved out a niche capturing bizarre stunts and action sequences--records these stunning sights, whether it's a man simultaneously swallowing 15 coat hangers, a terrifying mid-air car collision, or a woman suspended from a trapeze bar 1,000 feet above a forest. Incredible Stunts also explores the world of film and TV stunts, including a tribute to Evel Knievel and interviews with the stunt masters whose innovative skills inject an air of impossibility into every action sequence they create and choreograph.
