Kidd’s letters have been combined into this historical memoir, which tell a moving story of wartime service and shed a light onto the gallant and often brash Custer. Kidd wrote a series of letters to friends and family back home between 18, chronicling the conditions and experiences of life in the field of battle. The men were affectionately called “Custer’s Wolverines” and among them was James Kidd, a newspaperman by training.

ILK is often dynamic, with knowledge holders often experimenting with mixes of local and scientific approaches. For example, they can contribute to effective land management, predictions of natural disasters, and identification of longer-term climate changes, and ILK can be particularly useful where formal data collection on environmental conditions may be sparse. These forms of knowledge, jointly referred to as Indigenous and Local Knowledge or ILK, are often highly context specific and embedded in local institutions, providing biological and ecosystem knowledge with landscape information. Local knowledge (LK) refers to the understandings and skills developed by individuals and populations, specific to the place where they live. Indigenous knowledge (IK) refers to the understandings, skills and philosophies developed by societies with long histories of interaction with their natural surroundings. As Pande notes, when she first began fieldwork at what she calls “Armaan clinic,” the clinic had been instrumental in the birth of perhaps ten surrogated babies, but that was to soon change. Spanning academic discussions to popular culture (she is featured in an Indo-Norwegian Dutch play titled Made in India- Notes from a Baby Farm), Amrita Pande’s is among the first ethnographies on the topic based on fieldwork begun in 2006, before the phenomenal rise of surrogacy in India. Between 2002, when India first legalized commercial surrogacy, to 2016, when Modi’s government banned commercial surrogacy altogether, cities such as Anand, Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Mumbai were multimillion-dollar nodes on a global infertility industry that drew clients from Australia, Britain, Egypt, Germany, Israel, Spain, and the United States. Reviewed by Sharmila Rudrappa (University of Texas at Austin)Īs a researcher myself on reproductive politics in general and surrogacy in particular, I cannot emphasize enough the impact sociologist Amrita Pande has had on debates surrounding global surrogacy through her various articles published on the topic since 2009, and now collated into this more comprehensive monograph, Wombs in Labor. New York: Columbia University Press, 2014. Wombs in Labor: Transnational Commercial Surrogacy in India. Though an early friend of Schoenberg, Kreisler did not take a similarly adventurous path beyond tonality rather, it was another Viennese violinist, Rudolf Kolisch, who, as leader of the Viennese/Kolisch Quartet, became the ideal collaborator of Schoenberg and the champion of the music of the Second Viennese School. Following closely in his footsteps was the highly popular Austrian Fritz Kreisler, who also thrived as a composer, integrating the Franco-Belgian virtuoso tradition and the melodious Viennese pre-Schoenberg styles. A champion of new music in France and Belgium, Ysaÿe was in charge of the innovative chamber music concert series organized for the meetings of Les XX and other Symbolist groups. The first, the eminent Belgian Eugène Ysaÿe, revered in Vienna and all other European capitals, collaborated with César Franck and Claude Debussy, among many other artists. In their respective roles, they supported the climate of innovation in and between these capitals. This chapter focuses on three influential violinists whose careers intersected with the artistic scenes of Brussels and Vienna at the turn of the century. Narration also reveals that Nick’s mother loves horses, and has been invited to work with high-level racing horses in another state. Narration reveals that Nick’s father is a writer, and has published a dictionary of unusual but meaningful words, a dictionary that he wants Nick to memorize (throughout the book, examples of those words and their definitions appear in the text). Nick’s story begins on a day when everything seems to be relatively normal: he sleeps late, after playing on-line soccer into the night his parents are arguing and he is caught daydreaming in school. A "/" in the summary or a quote indicates a line break within a stanza a "//" in the summary or a quote indicates a break between stanzas. Dialogue poems, of which there are several, are printed with Nick’s dialogue in regular typeset, with the words of other speakers printed in italics. Most material is present tense, with the exception of remembered material, which is in past tense. The entire book is written, except where noted, in blank verse.
