"Dr. Michele Jones' book on translation is, no doubt, one of the best I have read. I have used the previous edition in all of my courses on translation and have deeply relied on her explanations. It will be of great assistance to both Undergraduate and Graduate students as well as to professors, no matter the language they are working with. A book most highly recommended to all." --Marie-Lise Gazarian, PhD, Professor and Director, Graduate Program in Spanish, St John's University
