Announcing an invaluable new book:
Media Arabic
An Essential Vocabulary
Elisabeth Kendall

This short, accessible vocabulary of Media Arabic provides learners  
with ready-made lists of strictly relevant vocabulary, giving them  
key terms for translating both from and into Arabic. Suitable for  
students, journalists, diplomats and military personnel working in  
the Middle East it will - in contrast with traditional Arabic  
dictionaries - encourage the user to deal with journalistic terms and  
coinages used to express modern concepts such as 'multi-culturalism'  
or 'anti-aircraft missile'.

The book provides:
*    A core vocabulary of media Arabic organised into subject  
sections for ease of reference
*    Easy-to-learn lists to test the translation of Arabic into  
English and vice versa
*    Key vocabulary components essential to comprehend, translate,  
write and speak modern media Arabic

The book is divided into the key areas covered in media Arabic:
*    General (reports, statements, sources, common media idioms)
*    Politics
*    Elections
*    Military
*    Economics
*    Trade and Industry
*    Law and Order
*    Disaster and Aid
