Reading 'Translation Studies'

My subject librarian recomended the book which related to my area.
I could finish reading only chapter1, but it is useful for me to know the introduction of my study area. I'll keep on reading it.

Summary of the chapter1

Translation studies is a new discipline which has been expanding in recent years. It has two main aims, one is 'Pure' and the other is 'Applied'. Pure areas of studies are divided into discriptive translation and theoretical translation. Applied includes 'translator training' , ' translation aids' and ' translation criticism'. These structured much recent research and positioned between the theory and practice of translation.
