When reading the narrative about Harriot Jacobs, one has to ask; what was it that kept her faith in God? How could she ever keep her hope alive that she could survive in a world where a young black slave girl could endure sexual harassment, slander, physical abuse, and emotional suffering from that of her slave master, Dr. Flint?

As the shape of the city and the characteristics of urban life are influenced by the way public and private distinction is made, the role of urban
Why is quantitative genetics important for animal breeding and production?

However, traits displaying a discrete number of values (such as number of offspring) and even binary traits (such as disease presence or absence) are all amenable to quantitative genetic analysis.
