Not for many years has there been such a divisive issue as Brexit, and like all divisive issues it has provided a bonanza for cartoonists. This generous selection of pocket cartoons captures the sheer bewilderment and exasperation which have bedevilled us all since the referendum. Some of the cartoons favour one side or the other, but most celebrate (or at least commemorate) a period of unique bafflement. With the emphasis much more on ordinary people than on the politicians, The Penguin Book of Brexit Cartoons will bring together at Christmas-time even the most riven families.

'However bad the day's news, there'll still be a Matt cartoon the morning after, and we'll still laugh - he's a genius!'

Another blockbuster collection of the year's wittiest political cartoons, featuring artworks by Steve Bell, Peter Brookes, Martin Rowson, 'Mac' and many more. If 2016 was a tumultuous year for politics, with Brexit, the most tempestuous US presidential campaign in living memory, turmoil in the Labour party and the rise to power of Theresa May, 2017 promises to be even more dramatic. How will President Trump govern? How will the most important and contentious political event in Britain for decades play out? And how many times will Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson say something embarrassing on a trip abroad? In tough political times, satire is more important thanever, and in Britain's Best Political Cartoons 2017, our finest political cartoonists will once again examine the year's events. The series, edited, introduced and with a commentary by Tim Benson, our leading expert on political cartoons, is now firmly established as a strong seller in the run-up to Christmas, and this year's edition promises to be more urgent, angry, insightful and funny than ever.

Translating Change explores and analyses the impact of changes in society, culture and language on the translation and interpreting process and product. It looks at how social attitudes, behaviours and values change over time, how languages respond to these changes, how these changes are reflected in the processing and production of translations and how technological change and economic uncertainty in the wake of events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and Brexit affect the translation market. The authors examine trends in language change in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. The highly topical approach to social, cultural and language change is predominantly synchronic and pragmatic, based on tracking and analysing language changes and trends as they have developed and continue to do so. This is combined with an innovative section on developing transferable translation-related skills, including writing and rewriting, editing, abstracting, transcreation and summary writing in view of a perceived need to expand the skills portfolio of translators in a changing market and at the same time to maximise translation quality. Each chapter features Pause for Thought/activity boxes to encourage active reader participation or reflection. With exercises, discussion questions, guided further reading throughout and a glossary of key terms, this innovative textbook is key reading for both students and translators or interpreters, in training and in practice.
