Murray Hill Books, Inc., New York. 1945. 207 pp. $3.00. A different approach to programming and production for television is made by Richard Hubbell. The outstanding feature of the book is the analysis and reasons behind the actions and practices in use in the studio. Physiological and psychological effects are explained and discussed. The theatre and the motion pictures are compared with video to provide a basis for understanding the unique nature of television. The more than fifty illustrations help to "put over" the salient points. • Television Techniques — Hoyland Bettinger. Harper & Brothers, New York. 1947. 237 pp. $5.00.
