Reviews

A well-balanced volume providing a timely reflection on how far AD has come in the past decade, both in terms of its practice, its contexts, and as a field of research. Impressive in breadth, this will doubtlessly be a baseline for the field in years to come. Jan-Louis Kruger, Macquarie University, Australia

Impressive in breadth, this will doubtlessly be a baseline for the field in years to come. Jan-Louis Kruger, Macquarie University, Australia This volume mirrors new and exciting developments in the robustly developing area of audio description. It is a much needed and very useful guide to all the latest technologies, new applications and new audiences. Agnieszka Chmiel, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland
