Sound Technology and the American Cinema

Editorial Reviews
Rick Altman, University of Iowa
Rarely has high-flying theory been anchored in such careful research and presented in such clear prose.

Review

"An interesting scholarly account of the rise of early film sound technologies... fascinating in its discussion of how sound practice, particularly in the accounts of film sound engineers, complicates and grounds sound theory." -- Review of Communication
