The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Politics presents the
first comprehensive, state of the art overview of the multiple ways
in which 'politics' and 'translation' interact. Divided into four
sections with thirty-three chapters written by a roster of
international scholars, this handbook covers the translation of
political ideas, the effects of political structures on translation
and interpreting, the politics of translation and an array of case
studies that range from the Classical Mediterranean to contemporary
China. Considering established topics such as censorship, gender,
translation under fascism, translators and interpreters at war, as
well as emerging topics such as translation and development, the
politics of localization, translation and interpreting in
democratic movements, and the politics of translating popular
music, the handbook offers a global and interdisciplinary
introduction to the intersections between translation and
interpreting studies and politics. With a substantial introduction
and extensive bibliographies, this handbook is an indispensable
resource for students and researchers of translation theory,
politics and related areas.
Provides the hard science behind the relationship between brain
activity and culture and the influence of "cultural" variables and
test performance It discusses the current and future challenges for
the globalization of neuropsychology It provides a detailed
treatment of the variables influencing cross-cultural
neuropsychological such as language, acculturation, education and
the use of interpreters It gives information on the specific
differences in brain functioning as the result of cultural
influences
In this book Jonathan St B T Evans has selected a number of key
publications which have strongly influenced the psychology of
reasoning from the 1970s to the present day.It will be essential
reading for researchers in the psychology of reasoning, and a wider
audience of advanced students with an interest in reasoning and/or
dual process theory. Preface 1. Wason selection task 2. Syllogisms
3. Conditionals 4. Heuristic-analytic and hypothetical thinking
theory 5. Rationality 6. The paradigm shift in the psychology of
reasoning 7. Dual processes, systems and minds
How to be a Researcher provides a strategic guide to the conduct of
a successful research career within a university environment. Based
on the author's extensive personal experience, it offers
down-to-earth advice, philosophical guidance, and discussions of
the political context of academic research. This is not a research
methods book, and the topics it covers are rarely discussed
elsewhere. The bulk of the book provides practical advice on the
development of essential skills and strategic approaches, covering
questions such as: how to decide which topics to work on how to
read and review literature how to develop theory how to integrate
research and teaching activity how to approach research design how
to obtain and manage research funding how to collaborate and
supervise effectively how to write up your research, and how to
secure the best sources of publication. The final part of the book
considers the philosophy and psychology of research work and
includes an exploration of the cognitive biases which may affect
researchers. How to be a Researcher will be particularly useful for
masters and doctoral students in the behavioral and social
sciences, and also for early career academics developing research
within a university career.
The subject of thinking is the oldest in the whole science of
psychology, going back to well before the separation of the
disciplines of philosophy and psychology. Originally published in
1983, this collection of up-to-date critical essays about thinking
- with particular emphasis on reasoning - is written from the
perspective of psychologists who are themselves actively engaged in
research into the nature of human thought. The editor's
introduction identifies the major issues which have traditionally
concerned students of human thought, and provides an historical
background. It describes how at first the subject was studied by
introspection, and how this method fell into disrepute at the end
of last century. A satisfactory alternative has not yet emerged,
although much recent work is based on the information-processing
model, which sees the brain as a sophisticated computer.
Consequently the papers presented in this volume deal with a wide
range of issues, and a number of different experimental tasks and
paradigms. They cover most current approaches to the theory and
methodology of cognitive psychology, including problem solving, the
relationship between language and thought, and reasoning.
Originally published in 1982, this was an extensive and up-to-date
review of research into the psychology of deductive reasoning,
Jonathan Evans presents an alternative theoretical framework to the
rationalist approach which had dominated much of the published work
in this field at the time. The review falls into three sections.
The first is concerned with elementary reasoning tasks, in which
response latency is the prime measure of interest. The second and
third sections are concerned with syllogistic and propositional
reasoning respectively, in which interest has focused on the
explanation of frequently observed logical errors. In an extended
discussion it is argued that reasoning processes are content
specific, and give little indication of the operation of any
underlying system of logical competence. Finally, a dual process
theory of reasoning, with broad implications and connections with
other fields of psychology, is elaborated and assessed in the light
of recent evidence.

In the World Library of Psychologists series, international experts
themselves present career-long collections of what they judge to be
their finest pieces - extracts from books, key articles, salient
research findings, and their major theoretical and practical
contributions. Jonathan St B T Evans is amongst the foremost
cognitive psychologists of his generation, having been influential
in spearheading developments in the psychological study of
reasoning from its very beginnings in the 1970s up to the present
day. This volume of self-selected papers recognises Professor
Evan's major contribution to the psychological study of thinking
and reasoning by bringing together his most influential and
important works. Early selections in the book focus upon
experimental studies of reasoning - matching bias in the Wason
selection task, belief bias in syllogistic reasoning, and also
seminal work on the understanding of conditional statements. The
later selections include Evans' work on more general forms of dual
process and dual system theory, and his recent account of two minds
in one brain. The volume also contains chapters which highlight
Evans' contribution to the topic of human rationality, and also his
influence on the development of the "new paradigm" in the
psychology of reasoning. The key developments in the psychology of
reasoning are paralleled by those in Evans's own intellectual
history, and the book will therefore make essential reading for all
researchers in the psychology of reasoning, and a wider audience of
graduate and upper-level undergraduate students with an interest in
reasoning and/or dual process theory.
'It was only two days after I arrived that I realised I had
actually joined MI5. It did not exactly throw the doors wide and
welcome scrutiny. The existence of the service was avowed but very
little else about it was. Who worked for it? Where were its
offices? What was its budget? What did it do? What was its
relationship with government? All of these were secret - and yet
MI5 was the most open of the three intelligence services.' In this
short book, former Director General of the British Security Service
Jonathan Evans describes how the secret services dealt with the
need for greater openness and transparency during his tenure, even
as national security needs were heightened. He draws insightful
similarities between investigative journalism and espionage - from
following leads and checking information to protecting sources -
and welcomes the benefits of a mature relationship between the
security services and journalism. He explores differences and
similarities between other security services around the world,
especially those in the United States, and how Brexit might impact
the UK's future collaboration with other European security
services. Secret Service is a fascinating insight into the world of
the security services and a reminder of the importance of actively
attending to the moral health of both the institution itself and
its operatives who, by their very nature, are its greatest strength
and also its greatest weakness.

Dramatic retelling of the life and career of Spanish professional
golfer Severiano 'Seve' Ballesteros directed by documentary
film-maker John-Paul Davidson. The film shows how Seve grew from a
young boy (José Luis Gutiérrez) playing golf on the beaches of his
native Spain with a broken 3-iron to a world number one and leading
figure in the sport. Told through dramatic re-enactments and
archive footage, the story follows Seve as he overcomes every
hurdle in his journey towards success.
God has a purpose for you right now. You may think you're not ready
to make a difference in God's Kingdom or that you're too young for
others to take seriously. But that's not what God thinks. At some
point, you have to understand your own purpose and significance in
the kingdom of God. How does God want to use you? This book uses
the Old Testament leader Joshua as a model for stepping up to God's
big calling. Before Joshua, Moses was the one who had spoken to
God, performed miracles, and challenged Pharaoh. But at some point,
Joshua had to come out to the front. So what did he do? How did he
step up? And what steps can you take to seize "now" for yourself?
Now is your time. If you will be steadfast and unmovable, and
always abound in what God is calling you to do, you'll see that it
will not be in vain. He has a plan, a destiny for your life. Now
means "not later." Now means "don't wait." God wants to do great
things.
