We've been very busy since our last post on 7 August. Too busy, I guess, to even post updates here!

First, and most significantly: Television has been published.

It's now available in bookstores everywhere and online at merchants such as Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble. In fact, several colleges (including our home institution, the University of Alabama) have already started using it in classes.

Second, we've completed the companion Website for the third edition--as you can see. Notable on the new Website are:

• All the illustrations from the third edition--in color and larger than in the book.
• An updated tutorial on how to make and use frame grabs.
• New and updated links to interesting online resources.

Plus, you'll also find the sample syllabi and student papers, along with all the other resources from the second edition's Website. We'll keep that old Website running for the time being, but come August 2007 we'll fold it into this new site.

We're excited about this new edition and hope you find it useful. If you have comments to share with us, or happen to notice any errors, please do contact us.
