It covers a wide range of issues, including inner city renewal, housing and the local economy, gentrification and other urban conflicts. …”

“…The reason for their apparent rarity might be that they are not immediately recognisable as carabids because their body surface is usually covered with a tough film and layers of mud or clay that obscure important diagnostic characters. …”

“…They became the first generation of colonial, middle-class parents to grapple not only with the problem of shaping careers for their sons, but also and more frustratingly, what graduate daughters might do next." -- Back cover…”

“…From the apparently naive definitions of translation, passing through a historical clipping of the evolution of its study, this book covers the relationship between linguistics and translation, discusses the evolution of the concepts of translation unit and equivalence, exposes the problematization of meaning in the lexicology and terminology, which are fields related to translation, and introduces the relationship between culture and translation…”

“…From liturgical drama to pageant, from nativity play to mystery, from latin comedy to 'sottie', morality and farce, one discovers here the various aspects of an output that covers more than five centuries. This selection hopefully represents a cross-section of contemporary work in the field. …”
