Poverty in America: One Nation, Pulling Apart 1960-2003 is an essential atlas which should be a part of any college-level collection strong in sociology or American history: it charts poverty in the U.S. from the Great Soceity ideas to modern times, offering dozens of color maps compiling the demographic dimensions of poverty across the country. The cd in the back allows readers to take advantage of comuterized mapping tools, while the atlas comes from a professor of geography at Penn State University. --California Book Watch, August 2006
