多选题For many years, Benjamin Quarles' seminal account of the participation of African Americans in the American Revolution has remained the standard work in the field.

多选题Geographic labels for lunar features often suggest, wrongly, that the moon is covered with bodies of water. Blame early astronomers, who were unable to distinguish lava flows from seas or oceans. Primarily to blame is probably Giovanni Riccioli, a priest and astronomer whose nomenclature for Francesco Grimaldi"s lunar map is still used today. The Mare Tranquillitatis, or Sea of Tranquility, is really a volcanic basalt basin surrounded by high walls. The Oceanus Procellarum, the Ocean of Storms, is a vast, flat lowland that some call the Great Plains of the moon. The Lacus Felicitatis, the Lake of Happiness, is another low-lying patch of lava, and the Palus Putredinis, or Marsh of Decay, is a lava flow with a crater on one end and a mountain on the other. The dampness implied by the names is simply an illusion; basalt reflects less light than the surrounding rock, making these regions appear dark and deep.
