Mas elas variam bastante entre si e há diferenças marcantes mesmo dentro de uma mesma cidade, o que tem impacto sobre as características da vida urbana e as condições de saúde da população.

These are just two of the vexing questions David D. Cooper tackles in his essays on the humanities, literacy, and public life. As insightful as they are provocative, these essays address important issues head-on and raise questions about the relevance and roles of humanities teaching and scholarship, the moral footings and public purposes of the humaniti

Founded in 1845 as a steamboat port at the entryway to western markets from the Red River, Jefferson was a thriving center of trade until the steamboat traffic dried up in the 1870s.
