From Understanding Poverty to Developing Human Capacity details how schools, churches, courts, businesses, and communities can build resources for people in poverty. With nine articles written by Dr. Payne, along with two co-written with her colleague, Philip DeVol, these writings cover the gamut of Dr. Payne's efforts in dealing with poverty-related issues. Now educators of all levels, clergy, community leaders, business professionals, and others are better positioned to help raise achievement, grow resources, and aid in the personal and professional development of everyone they work with.
