Recensioner i media

"Ellen Elias- Bursac systematically examines their lives and labors, describing vividly their many roles in the trials and the multiple challenges that bedevil their work. ... This book is one of the few richly descriptive works in the small but rapidly growing field of translation studies. ... Elias- Bursac has pioneered a method of inquiry that combines personal observation, survey research, and a systematic review of transcripts available online for each trial." (Robert Donia, Comparative Studies in Society and History, Vol. 58 (2), April, 2016)
