520    "This textbook explores the contemporary realities and 
       perceptions of poverty in America since 1908.  The authors
       bring together theoretical, empirical, and clinical 
       knowledge using reader-friendly and jargon-free language 
       to discuss public and private approaches to poverty and 
       how interest groups influence policies.  Professors 
       Giffords and Garber examine the varying ideologies of 
       poverty and analyze its impact on specific at-risk 
       populations, including people who are homeless, persons 
       with disabilities, immigrants and refugees, individuals 
       with co-occurring disorders, and veterans and military 
       families.  This book challenges stereotypes and describes 
       actionable interventions that can help change the face of 
       poverty." -- Back cover.
