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.
