**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

As in previous editions, Documentary is filled with photographs, many of them rare, collected during the author's travels around the world. Barnouw surveys the entire history of the documentary, right up to recent filmmaking technology, and the effects that video and cable television are having on the production of documentaries. Covering the documentary from Louis Lumiere's first effort to recent landmark productions, this volume offers the best historical overview of this key genre of filmmaking.
