Zusatztext

This book is very impressive and needed: it deals with an issue that seems to have increasingly plagued the practice of translation today. Much of translation activity, especially in professional contexts, is overwhelmingly dependent on outsourcing, where the quality varies enormously, to say the least. An excellent piece of research built on sound evidence from theory and practice, it is an original contribution to the practice of translation.
