Summary: A lot of work, but worth doing it!
Comment: Barron's Educational Series,Inc. contacted me to translate the Atlas from Spanish to English. I am a Biologist specialized in Immunology and working in the research field and teaching graduate and undergraduate students for about twenty years. Translating the Atlas was an interesting and challenging project, not as straightforward as I thought it would be in the beggining! After all, it's just a translation, right? Wrong! Putting somebody else's work into another language is a great responsibility. I checked and recheked my work to make sure everything was correct and in the right place. I really appreciate the translator's job much better now than before I translated the Atlas. The part that demanded most of my organizational skills was the Index. After translating all of it (about 12 printed pages, tiny letters, six columns per page), the index had to be ordered alphabetically again!! The computer helped me to sort the words alphabetically, but the checking was up to me. The Atlas has wonderful color drawings and detail. It is easy to use and not overwhelming.Some parts not only describe a particular organ or tissue, but also briefly explain how it works (for example, besides eye anatomy, the visual path is shown in page 62. Main defects of sight and their correction is shown on page 63. How the fetus progressively changes and grows during pregnancy is on page 87). Translating the Atlas was a great experience for me. I hope you enjoy it and learn from it as well.
