The book I read was "Film, An Introduction" by William Phillips.  I read the chapters on Mise en Scene, Cinematography, Editing, and Sound.  Here are a list of topics that were covered:

1. Types of Film Settings and Subjects
2. Using space, mise en scene vs. editing
3. Film Stock
4. Lighting
5. Camera technique: lenses and focus, camera distances, perspective, angles and POV, shots, camera movements
6. Digital Cinematography
7. Editing for continuity
8. Editing techniques: superimpositions, juxtapositions, parallel editing
9. Pacing and Timing of editing
10. Digital editing
11. History of sound in film
12. Uses of sound  in film

As an introductory book on film, I found it to be an excellent survey of all the basic terminology and techniques without becoming too technical for the reader.  The book also presents the material with an emphasis on how each component helps communicate the ideas and emotions of the filmmaker.  As a result, I gained a much stronger sense of how narrative is affected by the cinematography and editing of a film.  The most beneficial parts of the book, in my opinion, are the captions included with all of the pictures and illustrations throughout the book.  These captions do the greatest job of explaining each new concept or key term by building off of the visual example.  In certain sections, I hardly even read the text and focused almost entirely on the pictures and their respective captions.  As a technical reference, I am sure there are stronger texts than this one.  However, as a survey on the topic of film I found it to be incredibly comprehensive.
