		<description><![CDATA[ The Future Face of Media: Business Models for the Digital Era.

		<title>Lesen - Vielfalt - Übersetzungen. Ein Rundgang zur Leipziger Buchmesse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(&#8230;)
Knapp neun Prozent aller Neuerscheinungen in deutschen Verlagen sind  Übersetzungen. Davon entfallen etwa zwei Drittel auf die Belletristik.

		<title>Freshly brewed: The &#8220;Diversity Report 2009&#8243; - Cultural diversity in translations of books: Mapping fiction authors across Europe.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Books allow ideas and stories to travel, and translations are the vehicle of choice.
