A writer, interpreter
and academic who holds a Ph.D. from Harvard University, Lynn
Visson is an American of Russian background. Since 1980 she has
been a staff interpreter at the United Nations. She has edited and
translated several books and has written numerous books and articles
on Russian language, literature and culture, including a Russian and
Uzbek cookbook, and a work on simultaneous interpretation from
Russian into English. Several of her works have been published in
Russia. Dr. Visson travels frequently to Russia and has been
involved in numerous exchange projects. Above all, she is interested
in cross-cultural relations and in the problem of Russians and
Americans who are trying to live in, understand and "translate" each
other's cultures. |

This is the only text that actually teaches the student how to cope with practical Russian-English interpretation and translation problems which are becoming ever more important in today's global village. All those to whom I have recommended the first edition have found it a highly useful if not indispensable tool, and this revised and expanded version will be welcomed by advanced students of Russian as well as future interpreters and translators. Dr. Visson is to be commended for her emphasis on the importance of using correct and appropriate English equivalents for a broad range of Russian formal and informal colloquial expressions. --Frank J. Miller,
Russian Language Coordinator, Columbia University More online reviews can be found at this location: http://www.bradford.ac.uk/staff/pkkornakov/meta2001.htm
