Martha Yee‘s chapter from Understanding FRBR: What It Is and How It Will Affect Our Retrieval Tools (ISBN 1591585090) is available online for your free reading: FRBR and Moving Image Materials: Content (Work and Expression) versus Carrier (Manifestation).

ABSTRACT: Some of the major problems with Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition (AACR2R) stem from the failure to clearly analyze the FRBR entities work and expression (content) so as to distinguish them from manifestation (carrier) for nonbook materials such as moving image materials. In this chapter, a clearer and more logical analysis of these concepts is attempted, and, at the end of the chapter, the progress made so far in RDA (Resource Description and Access) development is assessed as well.

I’ll check if I can put my chapter up somewhere too. Congratulations and thanks to Martha Yee for making hers available!
