'œIn 14 chapters, this catalog covers audiovisual materials in US anthropology, architecture, arts, economic history, folklore, geography, history, international relations, language, literature, journalism, performing arts, political science, popular culture, sociology, and science and technology. Each chapter has been compiled by a disciplinary expert. The catalog features only a selection of available resources, with emphasis on items that are most recent and of the best quality. Formats reviewed include 16mm films, 35mm slide sets, audiocassettes, video recordings, and filmstrips. Items listed may be located by referring directly to a particular chapter (e.g., Arts, Popular Culture) by using the subject-category outline to pinpoint specific aspects of a chapter (e.g., Folklore-Music; Architecture-Urban) or by turning to the title index. Each chapter begins with a general introduction to the discipline it treats, followed by entries listed under specific categories, arranged by individual identifying numbers. Each entry also includes the title of the work, intended audience level, format, sound/silent, length, year of release, distributor, and brief annotation. Materials are suitable for high school, college, and general adult use. An essential source for well-rounded curriculum development in American Studies programs.'' ChoiceHoward B.
