<p><strong>'The strength of Venuti's writing comes from his tenacity. Never contents to simply throw out ideas or engage in speculation, Venuti pursues complex and sensitive issues through detailed discussion of examples.'</strong><strong>-</strong><em>Sherry Simon, TTR: Terminologie, Traduction, Redaction</em><br /><br /><strong>'The book is well put together, and the different topics treated in each chapter build on one another to give the reader a better overall picture of the author's thesis. The book's well-defined structure and index make the content available to researchers in related fields as well as to translators. A comprehensive, up-to-date viewpoint on diverse issues related to ethics in translation. Highly recommended for graduate students, faculty and professional translators.'</strong> - <em>CHOICE (4/99)</em><br /><br /><strong>'</strong><em>Scandals of Translation</em><strong> is intelligent, consistently provocative, and even includes moments of indignant humour.' -</strong> - <em>James Marcus, writing for Amazon.com</em><br /><br /><strong>'Venuti supports most of his ideas with practical examples. He shows how translation can twist any work into an expression of domestic values. His range of reference is impressively wide. He conveys large amounts of detail with a pleasant urgency.'</strong> - <em>The New York Times Book Review</em></p>
