Bernd Liske
Bernd Liske, born in 1956, studied mathematics in Chemnitz and is the owner of Liske information management systems. From its founding in 1998 until May 2015, Bernd Liske was a member of the main board of BITKOM, where he worked in the defense, education and knowledge management working groups. In the course of his efforts to deal with the revelations of Edward Snowden in the NSA affair, he was expelled from BITKOM in 2015. From 1998 to 2003 he was a member of the board of the Association of Organizations and Information Systems (VOI). Bernd Liske has been dealing with socio-political issues for many years. In his analyzes and concepts, he deals with social, political and economic problems in our society in order to make contributions to maintaining Germany as a business location. His book “PRISM A Lesson for our Democracy”, published in September, grew out of this. The diversity of the topics he deals with as well as the systemic principles used for their treatment can be followed on his homepage at and on his TWITTER channels @BerndLiske, @LiskeAphorismen and @LiskeZitate. He now regards his aphorisms as an open source operating system for the analysis and design of social processes and has been using them successfully for years.

MedicineApril 2018Bovine Tuberculosis
by Mark Chambers, Stephen Gordon, Francisco Olea-Popelka, Paul Barrow
This book is contemporary, topical and global in its approach, and provides an essential, comprehensive treatise on bovine tuberculosis and the bacterium that causes it, Mycobacterium bovis. Bovine tuberculosis remains a major cause of economic loss in cattle industries worldwide, exacerbated in some countries by the presence of a substantial wildlife reservoir. It is a major zoonosis, causing human infection through consumption of unpasteurised milk or by close contact with infected animals. Following a systematic approach, expert international authors cover epidemiology and the global situation; microbial virulence and pathogenesis; host responses to the pathogen; and diagnosis and control of the disease. Aimed at researchers and practising veterinarians, this book is essential for those needing comprehensive information on the pathogen and disease, and offers a summary of key information learned from human tuberculosis research. It will be useful to those studying the infection and for those responsible for controlling the disease.

May 2009Leben wär eine prima Alternative
Tagebücher und Briefe
by Maxie Wander, Fred Wander
Im Sommer 1976 bestätigt sich der schlimme Verdacht: Maxie Wander leidet an Krebs und wird ein Jahr später daran sterben. Die vorliegende Sammlung von Tagebucheinträgen und Briefen ermöglicht es dem Leser, sie auf diesem Lebensabschnitt zu begleiten. Mit klarem Blick und scharfer Selbstironie schildert sie ihre Odyssee durch die Behandlungsräume verschiedener Ärzte, die Sprachlosigkeit im Angesicht der Krankheit und die Intensität, die das Leben bekommt, wenn es nicht länger selbstverständlich ist. Maxie Wander bezaubert auch in den schwärzesten Augenblicken mit ihrer Faszination für die kleinen Dinge des Lebens, mit ihrem Lebenswillen und mit ihrer Selbsterkenntnis: Leben wär eine prima Alternative. Ein Titel, der für Leserinnen und Leser in Ost und West zur Maxime wurde und ihre Aufzeichnungen zum Kultbuch machte.

October 2007Ein Leben ist nicht genug
Tagebuchaufzeichnungen und Briefe
by Maxie Wander, Fred Wander, Fred Wander
»Ein Leben reicht nicht aus, alle guten Bücher zu lesen, alle Menschen kennenzulernen, alle Länder, die ich sehen möchte.« Maxie Wanders Aufzeichnungen aus den Jahren 1964 bis 1968 beeindrucken: Ob sie gemeinsam mit ihrem Mann durch die französische Metropole streift, in billigen Hotels wohnt und das »berühmte Pariser Licht« entdeckt oder sich mit den alltäglichen Aufgaben zu Hause, mit den Kindern, den vielen Freunden, der eigenen Arbeit befaßt – ihr Thema ist die »Suche nach einer neuen Art zu leben, anders zu leben, aufrichtig und schöpferisch zu leben«, wie es im Vorwort von Fred Wander heißt. Maxie Wanders Briefe und Tagebuchnotizen zeichnen das Bild einer klugen, neugierigen, impulsiven Frau, die das Leben mit Leidenschaft betrieb.
