Rigging in entertainment can be broken down into two main subjects –. All the same skills apply in both genres. The first takes place in a, and typically involves the theatre's permanent. The other in an or 'exposed structure venue' such as a, etc. Many arena riggers find themselves hanging a full theater in an arena environment. Circus rigging, comprising aerial acrobatic apparatuses that support human beings under dynamic loading conditions, and stabilization rigging for large scale fabric tension structures (big tops), is, perhaps, under appreciated in the general rigging field, and may be considered by some to be a separate field. However, the principles of physics and the standards of engineering that apply to theatrical and arena rigging still hold true in circus rigging, and much of the same equipment and many of the same devices are commonly used.
All the same skills apply in this genre as well.Chain motors and trusses are not used as often in tented circuses as in arena or theater rigging, however arena circuses make regular use of them.

The remaining six parts, as well as the glossary and bibliography, have been updated. This edition also contains a new preface, many new illustrations, and expanded information on Nicopress terminations.
Glerum explains that four main principles make up the core of this book: know the rigging system; keep it in safe working order; know how to use it; and keep your concentration. Glerum applies these principles to all of the major types of stage rigging systems, including block and tackle, hemp, counterweight, and motorized. He describes each type of rigging, then thoroughly reviews the operating procedures and methods of inspecting existing systems.
