Reviews

The author has brought together a wealth of theoretical ideas and concepts, which are synthesized with admirable clarity, and treated thoughtfully. (Sun Yifeng, Translation Quarterly) ... essential introductory reading to novices in translation studies, but ... also a very wise choice for both translation scholars and skeptical linguistis. (Sara Oliviera, Cadernos de Traducao)
