Sound Theory  
Sound Practice 

 
ed. Rich Altman,  1992, Routledge, New York 
ISBN: 0415904579 
 
 

Dramatically broadening the previous field of research on sound, Sound Theory/Sound Practice promises to renew the debate over the importance of sound to cinema, from a theoretical as well as a historical perspective. Individual essays cover such diverse topics as the conversion to sound, cartoon sound, documentary sound, and voices of women in third-world cinema.
