How to Rehearse When There Is No Rehearsal: Acting and the Media
This practical book on the subject of how to act, based on Ms. Spivak's forty years of acting, coaching, and teaching classes - first at Herbert Berghof and Uta Hagen's HB Studio, then on her own - provides a step-by-step system for analyzing and building a character organically, which can be applied even in the short time an actor has to prepare for auditions and for many television performances. Timely advice includes how to do camera takes, interpret and follow stage directions, and how to prepare for auditions and work in theater, film, television commercials, and television soap operas, sitcoms, and nighttime dramas.
Uses of Television
How does television function within society? Why have both its programs and its audiences been so widely denigrated?
Taking inspiration from Richard Hoggart's classic study The Uses of Literacy, John Hartley's new book is a lucid defense of the place of television in our lives, and of the usefulness of television studies. Hartley re-conceptualizes television as a transmodern medium, capable of reuniting government, education and media, and of creating a new kind of cultural teaching which facilitates communication across social and geographical boundaries. He provides a historical framework for the development of both television and television studies, his focus ranging from an analysis of the early documentary, to the much-overlooked cultural impact of the refrigerator.

Studying Audiences: The Shock of the Real
Studying Audiences: The Shock of the Real provides a critical overview of cultural studies research into the television audience. With the development of ethnographic research methods, hailed by Stuart Hall as "a new and exciting phase" in audience research, researchers turned their critical attention to groups of "ordinary people" watching television.
In a comprehensive analysis of the origins and achievements of the "cultural studies audience experiment", Virginia Nightingale evaluates five projects which helped to shape the field of television audience research, including Charlotte Brunsdon and David Morley's work on Nationwide, Ien Ang's Watching Dallas and David Buckingham's study of EastEnders and its audience.
