Parachuting, The Skydiver's Handbook is an easy-to-read popular book directed to those looking into the sport for the first time as well as the advance jumper.

They begin with an overview of the sport and progress to an in-depth study of emergencies; their causes, avoidance and solutions. The book goes on to cover freefall progression, learning to skydive; canopy progression and canopy formation flying; specialized jumping; and all about your parachutes. The Appendix contains a glossary of skydiving terms and a list of books, magazines, drop zones, dealers and videos available world-wide.
