“Margaret Rogers’ book is food for thought not only for translators but also for terminologists and researchers dealing with specialist texts. … The book is written in an easy-to-read and very comprehensible style. It is appealing to the reader because of the profound knowledge base of the author in the fields of linguistics, terminology, translation and LSP. … Therefore it should be recommended to students, novice translators and educators in the field.” (Prof. Dr. Ines-Andrea Busch-Lauer, Fachsprache, July, 2017)
