Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In Playing by the Book, S. Chris Shirley tells a story I loved curling up with, featuring one of the most endearing teen protagonists I've read in years.” —Alex Sanchez, author of The God Box and Boyfriends with Girlfriends When seventeen-year-old high school newspaper editor Jake Powell, fresh from Alabama, lands in New York City to attend Columbia University's prestigious summer journalism program, it's a dream come true. But his father, a fundamentalist Christian minister, smells trouble. And his father is rarely wrong. In Playing by the Book, Jake navigates new and unfamiliar ways "up North." Starting with his feelings for a handsome Jewish classmate named Sam. What Jake could keep hidden back home is now pushed to the surface in the Big Apple. Standing by his side are a gorgeous brunette with a Park Avenue attitude and the designer bags to match, a high school friend who has watched Jake grow up and isn't sure she's ready to let him go, and an outrageously flamboyant aunt who's determined to help Jake finds the courage to accept love and avoid the pain that she has experienced. Provocative and moving, Playing by The Book is a feel-good novel about the struggles and triumphs we encounter in the search for our own truth. “There's so much to admire in Chris Shirley's debut novel, but the most remarkable thing may be its voice. Jake is both earnest and skeptical, curious and guarded, and he tells his story with an endearing humility that–somehow–avoids the sarcasm that has become the norm. Playing by the Book reminds us of how rewarding it can be to climb into someone else's head.” —Patrick Ryan, author of Send Me and Saints of Augustine

Book excerpt: 'Breathtaking and moving'Awais Khan 'Authentic and tender'Carmel Harrington Forgetting your past is one thing, but living with your present is entirely different. Twenty years ago, Helen is forced to give up her newborn baby, Lily. Now living alone in her small flat, there is a knock at the door and her bee, her Lily, is standing in front of her. Reuniting means the world to them both, but Lily has questions. Lots of them. Questions that Helen is unwilling to answer. In turn Helen watches helplessly as her headstrong daughter launches from relationship to relationship, from kind Andrew, the father of her daughter, to violent Kingsley who fathers her son. When it’s clear her grandbees are in danger, tangled up in her daughter’s damaging relationship, Helen must find the courage to step in, confronting the fears that haunt her the most. Told in Helen’s quirky voice Helen and the Grandbees addresses matters of identity, race and mental illness. 'Breathtaking and moving, Helen and the Grandbees is a novel that bravely explores themes of familial discord, race and love in modern Britain. It is a book that immediately gripped me, compelling me to keep turning the pages well into the night. Morrall writes with confidence, poise, and a sense of humour to match. At times heartbreaking and heartwarming, this is a novel readers won't soon forget. A riveting debut.'Awais Khan, author of In the Company of Strangers 'Alex can write; she has a way, a bit like playwright Mike Leigh, of zooming into the tiniest, seemingly mundane physical details of a situation, and in so doing, conveying the complexity, circularity and pattern of relationship and emotion. There is a humanity and a realism about her writing that Is far from commonplace despite the fact that when you read about the people and situations in her storytelling, they are instantly recognisable. Helen and the Grandbees is unbearably sad but because Alex manages the seemingly impossible feat of introducing hope right from the start it is possible to read and read on, with curiosity and enjoyment.'Dr Kairen Cullen, Writer and Psychologist 'Authentic and tender. This utterly moving novel has created an unforgettable heroine in Helen. I held my breath as her troubled life unfolded and wanted only the best for her and her grandbees. This gorgeous book is not just an exploration of identity, race and mental health, but also one about family love, sacrifice and bravery. I loved it.'Carmel Harrington, International Bestselling Author 'What an honor and privilege it has been to read Helen and the Grandbees. I enjoyed it immensely. Every single character was memorable and felt completely genuine. Alex Morrall is a hugely talented author, with a gift for drawing characters of vastly different ages and from various backgrounds and social classes... This is the type of novel that will stick with me for a long time.'Mary Rowen, author of Leaving the Beach

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a glimpse into the lives of upwardly mobile Mormon professionals, this series of personal essays by author Dr. Robert S. Jordan describes his odyssey as a third-generation Mormon of polygamous descent whose family ascended from rural pioneer poverty to upper middle-class social and economic success. A Diasporan Mormons Life chronicles the life of Jordan, a child of the Mormon Diasporans who left the social and cultural isolation of Utah for a more secular, modern America. This memoir describes his struggle to find his personal identity from the tensions created between his religious heritage and his secular upbringing. Jordans life is remarkably varied. He studied at East Coast and California high schools, state universities such as UCLA and the University of Utah, and institutions such as Princeton and Oxford. He witnessed World War II, the Korean War, the Cold War, Vietnam, and survived Hurricane Katrina. He lived in large urban centers and locations on the global periphery. He engaged in academic research and teaching, university administration, and government service. A searching, informative, and entertaining memoir enhanced with numerous photos, this memoir distills and clarifies the experiences of his generation and contributes to the history and sociology of twentieth-century Mormonism.

Book Synopsis PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON GLOBALIZATION: CHALLENGES FOR TRANSLATORS AND INTERPRETERS by : Zhiqing Zhang
Download or read book PROCEEDINGS OF THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON GLOBALIZATION: CHALLENGES FOR TRANSLATORS AND INTERPRETERS written by Zhiqing Zhang and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the implementation of the “Belt and Road” Initiative and the development of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, the demand for translators and interpreters continues to grow in China. The breakthrough in artificial intelligence, which has contributed to an enormous improvement in the quality of machine translation, means challenges and opportunities for translators and interpreters as well as studies of translation and interpreting. Studies of translation and interpreting have been further expanded and diversified in the era of globalized communications. The interrelation between translation and globalization is essential reading for not only scholars and educators, but also anyone with an interest in translation and interpreting studies, or a concern for the future of our world’s languages and cultures. By focusing on the connection between the two, various researches have been conducted in all forms of communication between languages, including translation, interpreting, cross-cultural communication, language teaching, and the various specializations involved in such activities. This has resulted in The Third International Conference on Globalization: Challenges for Translators and Interpreters co-organized by the School of Translation Studies, Jinan University on its Zhuhai campus and South China Business College, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, November 16-17, 2019. The response to the conference was once more overwhelming, which was partly attributed to the previous two conferences held successfully under the same title. Apart from five keynote speakers, over one hundred and fifty participants came from universities, institutions or organizations from mainland China, Spain, New Zealand, as well as Hong Kong and Macao to attend the event, contributing over 130 papers in total. Among the keynote speakers are internationally renowned scholars in translation studies, such as Dr. Roberto Valdeón, professor of English Linguistics at the University of Oviedo, Spain, and the Chief Editor of Perspective: Studies in Translatology; Dr. Sun Yifeng, chair professor of Translation Studies and head of the English Department at the University of Macau; Dr. Tan Zaixi, distinguished professor of Shenzhen University and Chair Professor of Beijing Foreign Studies University, and Professor Emeritus of Hong Kong Baptist University. After careful evaluation and compilation, 90 papers have been selected for this conference proceedings, which was summarized into the following four topics: “Translation and Interpreting Theory and Practice,” “Translation and Cross-cultural Studies,” “Evaluation of Translation and Interpretation,” and “Studies on the Teaching of Translation.” By no means is it difficult to find some interesting and thought-provoking papers under each topic. For example, concerning “Translation and Interpreting Theory and Practice,” “To Translate or not to Translate? That is the Question----On Metaphor Translation in Chinese Political works” (by Dong Yu) explains that in judging whether or not a Chinese metaphor can be translated into English, an indispensable step is to decide whether or not the two cultural connotations can be connected. But this can easily be influenced by subjective factors. Yu has suggested some ways in which subjective factors could be controlled to some extent so that the translator could be more confident in his or her decision. He has also suggested three steps. The first step is to assume that the cultural connotation of the Chinese metaphor can be connected with that of its English version. For example, the metaphor ???? in ??????????? could be translated as rain or shine; The second step is to find out whether or not this translated version is acceptable both linguistically and culturally in English. The third step is to consider the systematicity of the metaphor in regard with the context in both the source and target texts. This involves a process of recontextualization. When it comes to “Translation and Cross-cultural Studies”, “On Translation of the English Guide-interpreter from the Perspective of Intercultural Communication” (by Fengxia Liua and Xiaoning Bi), points out that inbound tourism serves as a window through which foreign tourists get to know China, so the interaction between the guide-interpreters and foreign tourists are the typical activity of cultural communication. Foreign-language-speaking guides are usually regarded as “people-to-people ambassadors” or “cultural ambassadors”, who have played an essential role in the international tourist industry. Therefore, they argue that it is extremely important for tourist guides to cultivate their cross-cultural communication awareness, enhance their overall communicative competence, observe and distinguish east-and-west differences with multi-dimensional perspective, transcend cultural barriers and learn to use translation skills. “Studies on the Teaching of Translation” is another interesting topic that has attracted enormous attention, such as “Business Translation Teaching from the Perspective of Metaphors” (by Dandan Li) which explores application of conceptual metaphor theory in the translation process of business lexicons, business discourse and business English culture so as to provide a new perspective in business English pedagogy. Another study entitled “Cognitive Studies in Translation” (by Xin Huang), analyzes the cognitive studies of translation / interpreting processes over the past three decades, with focus on the issues examined, the findings reached as well as the recent development. She explains that cognitive studies of translation process examine the translation competence, on-line translation behaviors such as how the eye gazes and how the words are typed and the brain activities when doing translation. Special interests are paid to the working memory, problem-solving, the executive function and some linguistic relative factors such as text difficulty. Over the past thirty years, the interest in the field has been gaining considerable momentum and increasing issues have been involved. Finally, she concludes that with the advancement of technologies and interdisciplinary approaches, the black box, the previously unforeseeable cognitive activities of how human process translation, can be unfolded. Considering the importance of integrating theory with practice, the proceedings are therefore compiled in such a way as to be balanced and inclusive in the hope of summarizing current accomplishments as well as providing certain insights for teaching and further research in the field of translation and interpretation studies.
