This powerful account draws on research by sociologists and economists to reveal the depth of the poverty crisis, analyzing why such "invisible" citizens as the elderly, children, and minorities are not given adequate opportunities. Originally published in 1962, Harrington's classic work on the plight of the poor in the midst of plenty remains all too relevant today.

His graduate work on Drosophila chromatin structure combined classical and molecular genetics. He is presently a Faculty Lecturer in the Biological Sciences Department at the University of Alberta. He teaches cell biology at the first- and second-year levels and genetics at the second-, third-, and fourth-year levels. His teaching goals are (1) to find ways to incorporate current scientific research into introductory courses, (2) to develop new ways to expand a course’s boundaries with online material, and (3) to use clicker classroom response systems to teach content with questions.JOAN SHARP received her B.A. and B.Sc. from McGill University and her M.Sc. from the University of British Columbia. She is a Teaching Professor at Simon Fraser University, where she teaches Biology of Everyday Life, Introduction to Biology, General Biology, and Vertebrate Biology. Her teaching and research interests include a number of areas: (1) Argumentation is a key component of critical thinking and scientific reasoning. Effective argumentation requires the selection and evaluation of evidence in order to articulate and defend a carefully thought-out position. Development of this essential scientific skill may benefit from a supportive learning environment in which students are prompted with a controversial question and provided with explicit instruction on argumentation. (2) Case studies engage students with key concepts by using meaningful real-world scenarios. The use of clickers allows the implementation of case studies in large lecture courses, facilitating small group discussion and increasing student learning. (3) Prior or newly acquired misconceptions interfere with student success in building meaningful biological understanding. It is important to understand common misconceptions and to develop activities that allow students to address and correct their misconceptions. Concept inventories can be used to measure students’ learning gains to assess the success of teaching strategies targeting student misconceptions. Students’ written work can serve as a starting point to address areas of misunderstanding and to help students refine and express biological ideas.

In the fifty years since it was published, The Other America has been established as a seminal work of sociology. This anniversary edition includes Michael Harrington’s essays on poverty in the 1970s and ’80s as well as a new introduction by Harrington’s biographer, Maurice Isserman. This illuminating, profoundly moving classic is still all too relevant for today’s America.When Michael Harrington’s masterpiece, The Other America, was first published in 1962, it was hailed as an explosive work and became a galvanizing force for the war on poverty. Harrington shed light on the lives of the poor—from farm to city—and the social forces that relegated them to their difficult situations. He was determined to make poverty in the United States visible and his observations and analyses have had a profound effect on our country, radically changing how we view the poor and the policies we employ to help them.
