'Juliane House's book is much more than an updated edition of her earlier groundbreaking accounts of Translation Quality Assessment. It is the fruit of 40 years of research in translation (from both professional and academic perspectives) and the crowning achievement of a lifetime's devotion to testing and refining a theoretical model that reflects the true nature of translation. At one and the same time, it shows the enduring nature of the original insights and offers a comprehensive model, encompassing a wide range of new thinking, including cross-cultural pragmatics, globalization and the contemporary themes of power, conflict and ethics. There simply is no rival to this book.' Ian Mason, Heriot Watt University, UK 'Researchers, teachers and practitioners have been waiting for this extended and updated version of Juliane House's standard work. It is arguably the most comprehensive in the field, it links up quality assessment of (translated) texts with their function in relevant contexts, and it emphasizes the connection with empirical studies of language - and thus scientific research. Outstanding!' Erich Steiner, Saarland University, Germany
