Reviews for The Interpreting Studies Reader

'At last, the seminal articles on interpreting have been compiled in a single volume. Many of them have been out of print, inaccessible, or unavailable in English until now. A must for every library, whether personal or institutional.' - Holly Mikkelson, International Interpretation Resource Center, California, USA. A first-rate introduction to the whole area of interpreting studies. Introducing Interpreting Studies is informed, authoritative and written in a clear and engaging style. A must for anyone involved in the teaching or study of interpreting and of value to anyone with an interest in interlingual and intercultural communication in today's world. -Michael Cronin, Dublin City University, Ireland Franz Pochhacker's textbook is a first, indispensable for students and teachers of interpretation. A solid foundation for further research. -Alexandre Mikheev, Monterey Institute of International Studies, USA
