A beautiful collection of photographs and personal reflections on the life of professional ski mountaineer, surfer, climber, and all around adventurer, Chad Sayers. At the age of 18, Chad Sayers chooses to pursue a perilous existence in the world of professional freeskiing. Immediately successful, he rides high on a train of celebrity, sponsorship, travel, and freedom. But "living the dream" is, in reality, a tiring treadmill of daily risk that eventually sets him adrift from family, friends, lovers -- even himself. As injuries and emotional traumas pile up, his identity fractures into a hall of mirrors -- the flickering images of athlete, son, brother, traveller, and seeker veiling the reality of a man running blindly from heartbreak and physical debilitation. Then one day, in the mountains of France, hanging by a finger above certain death, he sees the one reflection that finally scares him straight: a man who doesn't care. To heal this severed connection to reality and the constant pain he lives with, Sayers quits skiing and turns to his other passions of travel, surfing, and photography. In Overexposure, some of the world's greatest outdoor photographers contribute to this engaging story in order to parse not only the high-stakes gambits required for a pro skier to stay in the spotlight, but also the grandeur of the stage on which these play out.
This guide tells photographers, lab personnel, and others how to ensure health and safety when working with photographic chemicals.

An enlightening expos?, Overexposed closely examines the troubles of Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Nicole Richie from a host of perspectives, including in-depth interviews with major media figures, publicists, and celebrities?from George Clooney to Dr. Phil, infamous paparazzo Ron Galella to LiLo herself.

"The most perverse perversions are not always those one would expect. At once clinical, bewildering, hilarious and deeply poignant, Overexposed shows how science can pervert itself by identifying too closely with its object, pushing along the way the limits assigned to humanity. This insider's exposition of a controversial cognitive behavioral method is a hallucinatory document on the manner in which our society exposes sexuality to the point of overexposure. Are we all already living in a sex laboratory?"--Jacket.
