This book provides a structured syllabus and an overview of interpretation accompanied by exercises in the main aspects of the art. It is meant as a practical guide for interpreters and as a complement to interpreter training programmes, particularly for students preparing for conference interpreting in international governmental and business settings.

"I read James Nolan's handbook as a conference interpreting student and found it very useful. This book gives a comprehensive overview of numerous techniques and explains how to use them in a very clear manner. I particularly liked the excerpts from speeches given as examples by the author - a long-time UN-insider. They make this handbook a stimulating reading by showing real-life aspects of this exciting profession. Jean-Luc Rostan, free-lance conference interpreter This book is a well-organized practical handbook for interpreter trainees. It is a solid and innovative tool which can be used by teachers, students and practitioners of interpretation. The exercises are instructive and the excerpts from speeches and the potpourri of stock phrases and idioms are well chosen and interesting. I highly recommend it.
