AB Petr Mareš's review presents James Buhler's comprehensive publication Theories of the Soundtrack, which systematically maps, compares, and critically interprets the development of film sound theories from the beginnings of sound film to the current digital era. While the reviewer highlights the author's extraordinary erudition and creative analytical contribution, but also points out the book's Anglocentric linguistic limitations and its disproportionate focus on film music.
