"""Healthcare Interpreting Explained is a first-rate introduction to the vast area that is healthcare interpreting. Professor Angelelli covers the necessary background knowledge about healthcare, and then introduces the two-fold foundation of situated practice and interpreter-mediated communication. Grounded in research and abundant relevant examples (transcripts of actual practice), this volume also offers a variety of exercises and tasks, making it an invaluable asset to students, novice interpreters and anyone interested in healthcare interpreting. Closing with discussions of conceptualizations of role and ethics, Angelelli has provided us all, the interpreting studies community, with a comprehensive overview of the field.""
