John Benjamins Publishing announces the availability of these two new works:

Translation and Medicine.
Henry FISCHBACH (ed.)
American Translators A ssociation Scholarly Monograph Series X
US & Canada: 1 55619 629 6 / USD 45.00 (Hardcover)
Rest of world: 90 272 3185 0 / NLG 90.00 (Hardcover)
The contributors to Translation and Medicine address several broad aspects
of medical translation, from the cultural/historic framework of the
language of medicine to pragmatic considerations of register and
terminology. Their articles highlight some of the contributions
translation has made to medical science and addresses some of the
questions raised by those who escort the advances of medicine across
language and cultural barriers and those who train the next generation of
medical translators.
Section 1 covers some "Historical and Cultural Aspects" that have
characterized the language of medicine in Japan and Western Europe, with
special emphasis on French and Spanish; Section 2 opens some vistas on
"The Medical Translator in Training" with two specific university-level
programs in Switzerland and in Spain, as well as an in-depth analysis of
who makes the better medical translator: the medically knowledgeable
linguist or the linguistically knowledgeable medical professional; and
Section 3 looks at several facets of "The Translator at Work," with
discussions of the translator-client relationship and the art of
audience-specific translating, an insider's view of the Translation Unit
of the National Institutes of Health, and a detailed study of on-line
medical terminology resources.
