Indiana University Press is pleased to announce the recent publication of: Beyond Dolby (Stereo) Cinema in the Digital Sound Age Mark Kerins "A breakthrough in film sound scholarship. Kerins does a masterful job of chronicling the complex history, theory, and production considerations associated with digital surround sound. . . . [His] work fills a gap in the sound field, while providing an essential contribution to cinema studies, cultural studies, and new media scholarship." ‹William Whittington, University of Southern California Since digital surround sound technology first appeared in cinemas 20 years ago, it has spread from theaters to homes and from movies to television, music, and video games. Yet even as 5.1 has become the standard for audiovisual media, its impact has gone unexamined. Drawing on works from the past two decades, as well as dozens of interviews with sound designers, mixers, and editors, Mark Kerins uncovers how 5.1 surround has affected not just sound design, but cinematography and editing as well. Beyond Dolby (Stereo) includes detailed analyses of Fight Club, The Matrix, Hairspray, Disturbia, The Rock, Saving Private Ryan, and Joy Ride, among other films, to illustrate the value of a truly audiovisual approach to cinema studies. 392 pp., 35 b&w illus. cloth 978-0-253-35546-1 $70.00 paper 978-0-253-22252-7 $24.95 For more information, visit: http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/product_info.php?isbn=978-0-253-22252 -7 For Instructors: If you are interested in adopting this book for course use, please see our exam copy policy: http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/information.php?info_id=122&meid=122 ---------------- Laura Baich Electronic Marketing Manager Indiana University Press 812-855-8287 | 812-856-0415 (fax) online: http://iupress.indiana.edu blog: http://iupress.typepad.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/iupress Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/iupress ---- Online resources for film/TV studies may be found at ScreenSite http://www.ScreenSite.org
