      In this magisterial cultural and intellectual history, Thomas Bauer reconsiders classical and modern Islam by tracing differing attitudes toward ambiguity. Over a span of many centuries, he explores the tension between one strand that aspires to annihilate all uncertainties and a competing tendency that looks for ways to live with complexity.

      During the Third Reich, a German university student is the son of the most powerful Nazi. Called before the Gestapo, he is accused of violating Paragraph 175, which makes sexual acts between men illegal. He is sent to a concentration camp where he experiences horror at the hands of his Nazi captors. The discovery that it was his lover who betrayed him to the Gestapo sends him over the edge.Based loosely on a true story, "The Seventh Circle," tells of the forgotten victims of the Holocaust, the men who wore the pink triangle. It is a timely tale on man's inhumanity to man.

      The integration test of software systems assures the quality and interoperability of composed sub-systems, which becomes highly relevant in the development of complex software applications. This thesis presents the novel model-based test approach ER! S for integration testing on the software level. The main result is a heterogeneous modeling notation, which covers both perspectives of integration testing: the high-level functional requirements of the subsystem and the functional implementation, as concrete component interactions. ER! S test models are created by an systematic construction and analysis approach. Stepwise system assembly is supported according to an operation-oriented integration strategy. Test cases are generated from the test model using different coverage criteria. They focus on the detailed coverage of system operations considering the execution conditions, the operational composition, and the interaction patterns. The solution was evaluated in several feasibility studies, which showed its applicability.

      André Wagner (geb. 1980 in Burgstädt, lebt und arbeitet in Berlin) hat in den letzten zehn Jahren ein bemerkenswertes Werk geschaffen. Der junge Fotograf greift real vorhandene (Licht-)Situationen auf und erschafft durch Langzeitbelichtungen malerisch poetische Bilder. Mit der Kamera ist es ihm möglich, die visuelle Wahrnehmung und den Bildkontext zu erweitern. Wagners Fotografien lassen den Prozess künstlerischer Auseinandersetzung mit der Widersprüchlichkeit des menschlichen Daseins erkennen: zwischen tiefer Verbundenheit mit der Natur und der Kultur des industriellen Fortschritts. Dies zeigt sich sowohl in seinen frühen Feuerzeichnungen, die er einem Selbstbildnis gleich in die nächtliche Landschaft schreibt, als auch in seinen Landschaftsporträts, die den Menschen und die Natur als Erscheinungsform reflektieren. Die erste Monografie über André Wagner mit Texten von Thomas Bauer-Friedrich und Wibke von Bonin erscheint zeitgleich zu seiner Teilnahme an der 55. Biennale di Venezia.
