This is the personal memoir of a filmmaker for National Geographic. I loved watching National Geographic shows and documentaries when I was younger, and also enjoyed the magazine. I loved the photography, and always thought that must be an exciting job to have. After reading this book, I can say with certainty...the job is exciting. Death defying, even. The author and his wife had tremendous adventures, dangerous situations, and narrow escapes. This was a really exciting and action packed book to listen to while at work. I enjoyed it greatly.
