Found in Translation by Nataly Kelly
Translation. It's everywhere we look, but seldom seen-until now. Found in Translation reveals the surprising and complex ways that translation shapes the world. Covering everything from holy books to hurricane warnings and poetry to peace treaties, Nataly Kelly and Jost Zetzsche offer language lovers and pop culture fans alike an insider's view of the ways in which translation spreads culture, fuels the global economy, prevents wars, and stops the outbreak of disease. Examples include how translation plays a key role at Google, Facebook, NASA, the United Nations, the Olympics, and more.
Zetzsche, Jost: - Jost Zetzsche was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1964. He spent some time in China (1988-1990), earned a Ph.D. in Chinese Studies with an emphasis on translation history in 1996, and moved to the US that same year. He is interested in language and translation and what effect it has on our perception of the world. Aside from writing, he works as a translator from English into German and helps his fellow translators more readily embrace technology. Jost lives on the Oregon coast with his wife and three children.
