What's the difference between Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography?

There is a nice description of each of the main film positions (including those two) in a book by William Goldman, _Adventures in the Screen Trade_. The last section of the book takes the example of a short story, turns it into a screenplay, then he talks with a director, cinematographer, art director, editor, music director about how each would work on the screenplay/movie.

Very informative, and the rest of the book has plenty of gossip and stories about what Goldman saw during a career in Hollywood.
