Reviews

'The Handbook provides excellent coverage of the field by an exciting mix of established and developing scholars. Readers are brought up to speed on longstanding debates in translation studies and are invited to explore relatively new areas of inquiry such as gender, technology, translanguaging, networking and public policy.' Anthony Pym, Universitat Rovira i Virgili and University of Melbourne 'Both original in concept and thorough in coverage, this handbook is a celebration of translation in all its forms and facets. It combines practical applications and theoretical implications, showcasing the countless ways in which translation has shaped, and continues to shape, our world.' Silvia Bernardini, Department of Interpreting and Translation, University of Bologna 'This book is a wholesome introduction to translation studies that will appeal to a broad readership of scholars, students, and practitioners alike. It showcases translation studies as a diverse discipline from its infancy to maturity and beyond.' Dr Claire Y. Shih, Associate Professor in Translation and Interpreting Studies, University College London
