Handbook of Translation Studies Volume 4 by Yves Gambier and Luc van Doorslaer

As a meaningful manifestation of how institutionalized the discipline has become, the new Handbook of Translation Studies is most welcome. It joins the other signs of maturation such as Summer Schools, the development of academic curricula, historical surveys, journals, book series, textbooks, terminologies, bibliographies and encyclopedias.
 
 
 
The HTS aims at disseminating knowledge about translation and interpreting and providing easy access to a large range of topics, traditions, and methods to a relatively broad audience: not only students who often adamantly prefer such user-friendliness, researchers and lecturers in Translation Studies, Translation & Interpreting professionals; but also scholars and experts from other disciplines (among which linguistics, sociology, history, psychology).
 
 
 
 
In addition the HTS addresses any of those with a professional or personal interest in the problems of translation, interpreting, localization, editing, etc., such as communication specialists, journalists, literary critics, editors, public servants, business managers, (intercultural) organization specialists, media specialists, marketing professionals.
 
 
 
The usability, accessibility and flexibility of the HTS depend on the commitment of people who agree that Translation Studies does matter. All users are therefore invited to share their feedback.

Gender Talk Feminism Discourse and Conversation Analysis by Susan A Speer (Women and Psychology Series)

Gender Talk provides a powerful case for the application of discursive psychology and conversation analysis to feminism, guiding the reader through cutting-edge debates and providing valuable evidence of the benefits of fine-grained, discursive methodologies.


In particular, the book concentrates on discourse and conversation analysis, providing a full account of these methodologies through the detailed study of data from a variety of settings, including focus groups, interviews and naturally occurring sources. Providing a thorough review of the relevant literature and recent research, this book demonstrates how discourse and conversation analysis can be applied to rework central feminist notions and concepts, ultimately revealing their full potential and relevance to other disciplines.

Gender Language and Discourse (Women And Psychology)

By incorporating a feminist discursive approach, Weatherall shows directions for the study of gender and language to move forward and the challenges that face it.


Facilitating Problem-Based Learning by Maggi Savin Baden

This book has resulted from a number of challenges and concerns that have emerged from both being a facilitator on various problem-based learning programmes and equipping other tutors to become facilitators.
 
 
 
 
As a lecturer and researcher in higher education and as a consultant to those wishing to implement problem-based learning, I have developed a range of strategies, practices and perspectives about what appears to help and hinder the facilitation of problembased learning.
 

Experimental and Quasi Experimental Designs for Research by Donald T Campbell

This survey originally appeared in N. L. Gage (editor)  handbook of Research on Teaching published by Rand McNally Company in 1963, under the longer title "Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Designs for Research on Teaching."
 
 
 
 
As a result, the introductory pages and many of the illustrations come from educational research. But as a study of the references will indicate, the survey draws from the social science in general, and the methodological recommendations are correspondingly broadly appropriate.
NOTE: Reprinted from Handbook of Research on Teaching
