Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
Scholarly writings in translation have contributed enormously to intellectual life throughout the world, but there has been little written on the practice of academic translation. Leading translation scholar, translator, and translator educator Brian James Baer discusses the specific challenges involved with academic translation and sets out ways of addressing them as a necessary first step in developing best practices for the field.
Ranging from terminological issues, citational practices, and conceptual networks to scholarly annotation, all chapters include activities and exercises in the form of sample texts and case studies. This is the ideal course book for a semester-long course on Academic Translation in an MA program and will also be of interest to translators and scholars undertaking academic translations, as well as anyone interested in translation's role in the circulation of knowledge.
"Academic translation has finally found a home! Brian Baer provides in this much needed book an excellent guide to an understudied field and practice. It should become an indispensable resource for all of those reading and writing in the humanities and the social sciences today who are no longer willing to take translation for granted."
--Esperança Bielsa, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Spain
"In this lively study of how concepts travel across languages and scholarly traditions, Brian Baer as always combines personal experience and historical references to great effect. This book is as much an enjoyable read as a necessary manual for academic translators."
--Sherry Simon, Concordia University, Canada
"Thoroughly researched, well-argued and incisive, this book opens up the unjustly neglected field of academic translation while, in addition, offering actionable guidance for best practice. A most timely piece of work."
--Theo Hermans, University College London, UK
