Exploring the old adage proclaiming, "The world is your oyster," each page offers an original mixed media collage incorporating drawings and photographs, and accompanied by a promise. These promises both engage and challenge the idea of promising, claiming, for example, to "break hearts with eyebrows" and "marry a woman with a husband." Hand-written into each of the photo-drawing-collages, the promises suggest the multi-faceted character of trust, a present inscription on the future which penetrates the verbal, the gestural and the inexpressible. Bauer's first book offers a work that is subtle, heartfelt and lyrical.

Life isnt always easy for a young little sheep growing up on a big farm. So it was with Steel Wooly. He tried so hard to be something he was not. His farm family and friends were there to help, yet from the very beginning all he really needed was to make use of what he always had. The Adventures of Steel Wooly are a series of coming of age tales written for the young and old alike. The stories of the dignified simple life of a young sheep on a farm are a metaphor for the many uncertainties we all face along lifes way.

Since September 11, 2001, the pressure on al-Qaeda has increased. Training sanctuaries and havens have been eliminated, and numerous fighters of the organization have been killed, captured, or are in hiding. Today, al-Qaeda can be understood much more as an ideological platform than an operative terror organization. Bin Laden and al-Zawahiri cannot provide tactical leadership, but they pose a new, more virtual threat insofar as recruitment, training, and indoctrination - as well as propaganda - have moved to small cell operations under the al-Qaeda ideological banner in virtually every country. The execution of the global war on terrorism has not decreased international terrorism directed against the West. In view of this apparent failure of present strategies, the editors of this book have sought the opinions of eight distinguished scholars and experts in the field to reflect on the following questions: What additional actions are required in counter-terrorism policy to reverse the increase in terror-directed activities? What are the main shortcomings of current policy initiatives? What policy recommendations can be made as a result of recent developments in counter-terrorism theory and new data on terror perpetrators and incidents? The answers, set out in this volume, provide important contributions - academic, scientific, and practical - to the debate on how to effectively counter terrorism, which methods to pursue, and which means to apply. The volume is structured in three parts: (1) possible anticipatory actions in the context of counter-terrorism and prevention; (2) the question of reasonable reaction to a perceived or real threat; and (3) discussion on the effects of an attack and how to deal with the aftermath.

Bei der umformenden Bearbeitung von Blechen ist neben den klassischen Festigkeits- und Z higkeitskennwerten naturgem das plastische Werkstoffverhalten von besonderem Interesse. Zur Kennzeichnung dieses Verhaltens wird im allgemeinen die Flie - kurve kf( ) angegeben. Diese legt den Wert der Flie spannung k f fest, die unter einachsiger Beanspruchung zur Einleitung oder Aufrechterhaltung plastischen Flie ens bei einem bestimmten Umformgrad (bzw. Vergleichsumformgrad v) notwendig ist. Die Kenntnis der Flie kurve gestattet in der praxis, Bleche f r bestimmte Verfahren auszuw hlen, bzw. unterschiedliche Chargen zu vergleichen; dies wird erg nzt durch die Anwendung als Rechengrundlage f r die Ermittlung von Umformarbeiten un- kr ften zur Auslegung von Verfahren und Anlagen /1, 2/. Mit zunehmender Bedeutung numerischer Simulationsverfahren in der Umformtechnik, bei denen das Werkstoffverhalten im wesent- lichen durch die Flie kurve repr sentiert wird, w chst der Bedarf an verl lichen Werkstoffdaten. Die grunds tzlich experimentelle Ermittlung der Flie kurven von Blechwerkstoffen bereitet keine Schwierigkeiten, solange eine ausreichende Dicke zur Entnahme von massiven (Zug- oder Stauch-) Proben vorhanden ist /3, 4, 5/. Feinbleche mit einer Dicke unter 3 mm hingegen sind nur mit erheblichen Einschr n- kungen durch konventionelle Pr fmethoden erfa bar.
