This book presents the latest theoretical and empirical advances in
cognitive translation studies. It involves the modes of written
translation, interpreting, sight translation, and computer-aided
translation. In separate chapters, this book proposes a new
analytical framework for studying keylogged translation processes,
a framework that reconciles a sociological and a psychological
approach for studying expertise in translation, and a pedagogical
model of translation competence. It expands the investigation of
cognitive processes by considering the role of emotional factors,
reviews, and develops the effort models of interpreting as a
didactic construct. The empirical studies in this book revolve
around cognitive load and effort; they explore the influences of
text factors (e.g., metaphors, complex lexical items,
directionality) while taking into account translator factors and
evaluate the user experience of computer-aided translation tools.
Given the centrality of economics and communication in the Occupy
movement, Understanding Occupy from Wall Street to Portland uses
economic insights and contemporary theories of communication to
better understand the movement at this current juncture in history.
This collection is organized by complementary theoretical and
methodological perspectives: the global critical cultural and
economic understandings of Occupy; the local interpretive
ethnographic examinations of a local site Occupy Portland, Oregon;
and mediated perspectives analyses of the words of officials and
media. The contributors also examine social movement phenomena by
stepping outside of social movement theory to analyze the macro-
and microprocesses of the Occupy movement, demonstrating the
saliency of communication theory. Throughout the volume are
in-depth case studies that examine universal narratives about
Occupy. One of the challenges of studying Occupy is that members of
this movement are committed to not allowing any one person (or
entity) to define it. One way the editors acknowledge this and
attempt to honor the individualism and postmodern fragmentation of
this movement is to consider their findings in light of the three
interpretive lenses of the romantic, functional, and critical. This
informative and comprehensive text provides a critical lens on the
constantly evolving Occupy movement.
This collection provides a snapshot of cutting-edge research in the
rapidly developing area of cognitive approaches to multilingual
mediated communication. The chapters cover important trends in
current work, including: the increasing interaction between
translation and interpreting research, the emergence of
neuroscientific theories and methods, the role of emotion in
translation processes, and the impact of cognitive aptitudes on
translation performance. Exploring the interface with neighbouring
research areas such as bilingualism, reading, and cognitive
psychology, the book presents a variety of theoretical frameworks
and constructs to support empirical research and theoretical
development. The authors address new research areas, such as
emotions and multisensory integration; apply new research
constructs, such as eye-voice span; and expand the scope of
cognitive translation studies to include agents other than the
mediator. Documenting the growth in breadth and depth within
cognitive translation and interpreting studies (CTIS) over the past
decade, this is essential reading for all advanced students and
researchers needing an up-to-date overview of cognitive translation
and interpreting studies.

With just over half a decade passing since the first edition of the
Handbook of Pediatric Cardiovascular Drugs was published, it
remains the only book of its nature to provide health care
practitioners with a tool to safely and consistently prescribe and
administer cardiovascular drugs in children with cardiac disease.
In this new edition, the editors have updated this important
resource in collaboration with highly reputed authors. This pocket
reference handbook remains tailored to help cardiovascular
practitioners meet the daily challenges of caring for patients,
from the newborn to the young adult, with cardiac disease. In
addition to providing an extensive review of all cardiovascular
medications, the Handbook of Pediatric Cardiovascular Drugs, 2nd
Edition also discusses the information required to assist
caregivers in their daily clinical practice. Physicians, fellows,
residents, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, pharmacists,
nurses and other practitioners alike will find this handbook to be
an essential resource for drug therapy in complex and high-risk
patients with acquired and congenital heart disease.
