Francis M. Rogers, to whom the current volume is in honor of, may be a modest man in principle, but not in his academic pursuits. To call his interests broad in scope is no exaggeration as they cover the fields of linguistics, literature, philology, bibliography, travel narratives and celestial navigation, which is nicely reflected in this volume.
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.
This book is a handy reference for the Revolution. It is jam-packed with valuable information, trivia, references, and wisdom that is seldom found in an encyclopedia-type volume. Written for the researcher in mind, this book is invaluable. This volume is highly recommended, and it is useful, and quite literally, indispensable for the serious student.
