        Babel-Bridge specialises in translation rights representation world-wide on behalf of publishing houses and agencies.   At Babel-Bridge, every single book is carefully selected for its potential ability to travel, be it for its universal theme, its commercial hook or stunning artwork, or indeed all three.   Babel-Bridge represents mainly books from the Nordics and the UK, but we wish to grow the portfolio to include beautiful books that tick the aforementioned boxes from other corners of the world. To that end, Babel-Bridge will rely on close collaboration with subagents, who are strongly placed to identify the books that are most likely to travel, but where the rights holder lacks the network abroad.

        Babyboomer

        Die Generation der Vielen

        by Bernhard Becker

        Was haben Maybrit Illner, Dieter Nuhr, Jörg Pilawa, Nena, Campino und Joachim Löw gemeinsam? Sie sind Babyboomer. Geboren zwischen 1960 und 1965, als es mit der Wirtschaft noch bergauf ging und bevor die Pille zum berühmten Knick führte. Bis heute stellen sie die Mehrheit der Gesellschaft, und doch weiß man nur wenig über sie – bis jetzt. Als Kinder fuhren die Babyboomer mit dem »Wuermeling-Pass« kostenlos durchs Land, lasen Fix & Foxi, schauten Schweinchen Dick und lauschten Winnetou-Hörspielplatten. Später hielten sie sich auf Trimm-dich-Pfaden fit, wurden von Helga und von »Dr. Sommer« aufgeklärt und sparten für ihre erste Kompaktanlage. Alleinsein war dabei stets ein rares Gut, denn auch wenn die Eltern einen meist in Ruhe ließen, war immer irgendein Altersgenosse in der Nähe. Das hat die Boomer zu routinierten Teamplayern gemacht. Aber auch zu Wachstumskritikern, Entschleunigern und Downshiftern – kurz: zu Menschen, die unsere Gesellschaft nachhaltig prägen.

        Disciplined agency

        Neoliberal precarity, generational dispossession and call centre labour in Portugal

        by Patrícia Alves de Matos

        Since the mid-2000s, the harsh reality of call centre employment for a generation of young workers in Portugal has been impossible to ignore. With its endless rows of small cubicles, where human agents endure repetitive telephone conversations with abusive clients under invasive modes of technological surveillance, discipline and control, call centre work remains a striking symbol of labour precarity, a condition particularly associated with the neoliberal generational disenchantment that 'each generation does better than its predecessor'. This book describes the emergence of a regime of disciplined agency in the Portuguese call centre sector. Examining the ascendancy of call centres as icons of precarity in contemporary Portugal, this book argues that call centre labour constitutes a new form of commodification of the labouring subject. De Matos argues that call centres represent an advanced system of non-manual labour power exploitation, due to the underestimation of human creativity that lies at the centre of the regimented structures of call centre labour. Call centres can only guarantee profit maintenance, de Matos argues, through the commodification of the human agency arising from the operators' moral, relational and social embedded agentive linguistic interventions of creative improvisation, decision-making, problem-solving and ethical evaluation.

        Ecological Effects of Electricity Generation, Storage and Use

        by Peter Henderson

        This book reviews the past, present and future generation and use of electricity. While noting the importance of electricity to the well-being of people, it argues that all means of electricity generation have adverse ecological consequences. The ecological effects of all the main forms of electricity generation, storage and transmission are reviewed in 14 chapters. The chapters briefly cover the engineering and physics of each method of electricity generation followed by a description of the different ways in which the technology interacts with the natural world. Finally, sections consider the importance of these impacts and how they can be mitigated or avoided. A final chapter summarizes the issues and emphasizes that the only way to truly minimize the impacts of electricity generation is to reduce our consumption and transmission. Future efforts should continue to focus on increasing the efficiency of light production, refrigeration, electrical appliances and batteries.

        Tourism and Generation Y

        by Edited by Pierre J Benckendorff, Gianna Moscardo, Donna Pendergast.

        Generation Y is a phenomenon identified by social scientists and social commentators, and is frequently discussed in the media. Referring to the current generation of young people, the label attributes to this generation modes of behaviour, values and attitudes distinct from previous generations. This book looks at Generation Y in a tourism context; in broad conceptual terms such as trends and behaviour, and in applied terms, for example looking at particular types of travel that Generation Y takes part in, and tourism marketing aimed specifically at them. This volume aims to define and examine the current and future generation of tourism workers and consumers, and will be an essential read for researchers and students in tourism studies and related industries.
