The reader is introduced to a little-known side of Custer - a deeply personal side. George Custer grew up in an expanding young country and his early influences mirrored the times. Two aspects of this era dominate most works about him: the Civil War, and the war with the Indians, culminating in his death at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. When mentioned, if at all, his early life and years as a cadet at West Point are brief, and then only enough to set some background for discussion of the mystery of the Little Bighorn. This is the first Custer biography to focus on these lesser-known parts of his life in great detail. The approach uses all of Custer’s known writings. Letters, magazine articles, his book, My Life on the Plains, and his unfinished memoirs of the Civil War, along with materials and books by his wife, Elizabeth Custer, and reflections of others who knew him well. The five chapters are; Early Life (growing up and as a West Point cadet); The Civil War; The Indian Fighter; The Little Bighorn and Conclusion. The theme of the book is not so much new historical information but the depth of his character development and lesser-known influences of his life. Custer draws together these elements in a succinct and accessible read. The book also includes illustrations (primarily from Harper’s Weekly), and photos, such as Matthew Brady’s Civil War collection, to accompany the text.

This is the first book to cover every angle in the clinical application of biologics. Readers will not only find that all of the biologics currently approved for clinical use are delineated in a standardized way, but also the "differential therapy" with biologics in fields including dermatology and neurology is described in detail and summarized in treatment algorithms. Shorter sections on biologic biotechnology as well as safety and regulatory issues complement the more clinically-oriented central chapters.

Glarita Martin Die tiergerechte Haltung, Fiitterung und Pflege von Nutztieren ist das primare Anliegen der Intemationalen Gesellschaft fiir Nutztierhaltung (IGN). Diesem Ziel entsprechend standen bei bisherigen Tagungen Fragen des Wohlbefindens sowie tiergerechte Altemativen zu den herkommlichen Haltungsformen im Vordergrund. Es wurde dabei immer wieder deutlich gemacht, daB viele modeme Haltungssysteme, wie Spaltenboden-und Kafighaltung nicht tiergerecht sind und den Tieren im Sinne des Tierschutzgesetzes Leiden und Schiiden zufiigen. Trotz dieser Erkenntnis hat die Regierung Verordnungen zur Haltung von Hiihnem, Schwei- nen, Kalbem und Pelztieren erlassen bzw. in Vorbereitung, die fiir die Tiere keine wirklichen Verbesserungen bringen. Diese Verordnungen sind nicht mit dem Tierschutzgesetz zu ver- einbaren. Ein Rechtsgutachten (Prof. Erbel, Universitat Bonn) steHt sogar die Verfassungs- miiBigkeit der Legehennen-Verordnung in Frage. Bei der im Januar 1988 in Stuttgart-Hohenheim durchgefiihrten IGN-Tagung, deren Refera- te im vorliegenden Band wiedergegeben werden, wurden nicht nur die Auswirkungen der in- tensiven Haltung auf die Tiere behandelt, sondem es standen vor aHem die gegenseitigen Wechselwirkungen der verschiedenen landwirtschaftlichen Bereiche, soweit sie mit der Tier- haltung im Zusammenhang stehen, im Vordergrund. Ausgehend von derzeitigen landwirtschaftlichen Strukturen, die vielfach zwangslaufig zur in- tensiven Massentierhaltung gefiihrt haben, werden auf der Grundlage von Systernzusammen- hiingen in der Landwirtschaft Moglichkeiten aufgezeigt, betriebliche Ablaufe im okologischen Sinne so zu andem, daB sich eine tiergerechte Nutztierhaltung problernlos einfiigt. Dariiber hinaus werden konkrete politische Instrumente genannt, mit deren Hilfe politisches Handeln im okologischen Rahmen moglich ist.

This book consists of four essays on the fields of labour and health economics. All of them are concerned with the effects of behavioural and psychological factors. The first essay examines the effects of non-cognitive skills on tests scores; the second examines the effects of retirement on health outcomes; the third examines the effects of similarity between an unemployed person and his caseworker on employment outcomes; the fourth examines the effects of a caseworker's attitude towards cooperation with his client on employment outcomes. The latter two are joint work with Markus Frolich and Michael Lechner.
