Acknowledgments
This book began as my PhD thesis, submitted in June 2014 at the Humboldt- Universität zu Berlin, Germany. I thank my supervisors, Geert Keil and Andreas Hüttemann, for their support and feedback. I also thank my former colleagues from Humboldt University for their helpful discussions and the good times we had together in Berlin. In particular, I want to thank Alexander Dinges, Julia Zakkou, Thomas Krödel, Sanja Dembic, Sebastian Bender, and the participants of Prof. Keil’s colloquium. I also profited from discussions with Marie Kaiser, Lena Kästner, Dan Brooks, the LeRM group, Michael Baumgartner, Lorenzo Casini, Jens Harbecke, Stuart Glenn
