Most behavioral scientists and practitioners have probably had some experience using video in their work. But most have probably not explored all the possible ways that video could be used to enhance their work. A gap exists today between the available technical potential of video and the application of video in the behavioral field. With video pervading our culture and the technological revolution in full swing, Dowrick's book is a timely attempt to bridge this gap.
