A Framework for Understanding Poverty by Ruby K. Payne, Ph.D., Fourth Revised Edition, published by aha! Process, Inc., 2005, ISBN 1-929229-48-8 / 978-1-929229-48-2 with approximately 199 pages. This educational and sociology reference examines poverty and socioeconomic class, with particular emphasis on how economic circumstances may affect learning, communication, relationships, decision-making, and behavior. It was developed primarily for educators, employers, policymakers, social-service professionals, and others who work with people from differing socioeconomic backgrounds. Topics include definitions and resources, language and storytelling, “hidden rules” among economic classes, characteristics of generational poverty, role models and emotional resources, support systems, discipline, instruction and improving achievement, and creating relationships. It also contains research notes, an appendix, bibliography, and index. Good used condition. The paperback is intact with a sound binding and generally clean, readable interior pages. The covers show noticeable normal handling and shelf wear, including surface rubbing/scuffing, light soiling or spotting along the lower front cover, edge and corner wear, and some curling/creasing of the covers. The page edges show light age/use discoloration.
