Acknowledgements
This work is the result of many days of study and reflection, including the occasional walk around Münster’s beautiful lake. I especially wish to thank professors Ulrich Willems and Uwe Backes for their remarkable energy and dedication in helping me see it through to its conclusion. My colleagues deserve thanks for their insightful comments throughout the years we spent together. I am grateful to Dr. Matthias Freise and professor Reinhard Meyers for their support and encouragement, as well as to professor Martina Winkler, whose advice strengthened my decision to pursue a PhD. I would also like to thank my good friend Levi Szelitzky, who survived countless debates on the subjects involved. I dedicate this book to my parents.
