Baker's In Other Words provides a general view of translation for teachers and students of the field. It attempts to guide and inform decisions translators have to make while performing their task. In Other Words interestingly develops hierarchically, from the simple levei of the word to the most complex focus- language in context. Along the six chapters, Baker bravely brings to the text a wide range of authentic examples of translated texts, in various languages facilitating the reader's comprehension of the topics and strategies presented.
