Dear Jeremy, Duke University Press has just published *Seeing by Electricity: The Emergence of Television, 1878-1939 <https://www.dukeupress.edu/seeing-by-electricity>* by Doron Galili. He traces television's early history, from the fantastical devices initially imagined fifty years before the first television prototypes to the emergence of broadcast television in the 1930s, showing how television was always discussed and treated in relation to cinema. Francesco Casetti, author of *The Lumière Galaxy: Seven Key Words for the Cinema to Come*, says “Digging into television’s origins and discovering secret lineages and unexpected ancestors, Doron Galili unearths the true reasons that fiercely opposed—and indissolubly linked—television and cinema. A masterful contribution to media archeology.” Best wishes, Camille -- *Camille Wright *| Publicity Assistant Duke University Press 905 W.
