This book is an introduction to the “Science of translation”, if ever such a science existed. Professor Nida's ‘Toward a Science of Translation’ (I & II) may have drawn the attention of linguists to the possibility of engaging in a process of formalizing, generalizing and rule-setting which, for most of them, should constitute a solid enough ‘scientific’ basis for translation; but the many books produced in the 1990s on translation have shown that the possibility of that process remains just that — only a possibility.
To demystify creative work without reducing it to simplistic formulas, Doris Wallace and Howard Gruber, one of the world's foremost authorities on creativity, have produced a unique book exploring the creative process in the arts and sciences. The book's original "evolving systems approach" treats creativity as purposeful work and integrates cognitive, emotional, aesthetic, and motivational aspects of the creative process.
Galectins: Methods and Protocols is the first book solely dedicated to methodological approaches designed to study galectin function. The galectin family represents one of the most pleiotropic families, with individual members having been implicated in various aspects of nearly every biological process described, from RNA splicing to complex regulatory circuits that orchestrate adaptive immunity.
Completely revised and updated, the fifth edition of Practicum and Internship is an eminently practical resource that provides students and supervisors with thorough coverage of the theoretical and practical aspects of the practicum and internship process.
