Harry F. Harlow: American Psychological Foundation Gold Medal Award.

Recognizes receipt of the American Psychological Foundation Gold Medal Award. Harry F. Harlow is this year's recipient of the Gold Medal Award. The accompanying article notes that Dr. Harlow has built a distinguished scientific career upon the study of basic psychological phenomena that are simultaneously of great scientific interest and great social importance. It is fair to say that, while he has been concerned with learning and behavior changes accompanying maturation from infancy to adulthood, and while he has shown some interest in therapeutic communities, a larger share of his attention has been given to affective behavior--especially to the affective relations between parents and offspring and to the pathologies of these relations. The American Psychological Association Foundation presents its Gold Medal Award to a senior American psychologist in recognition of a distinguished and long-continued record of scientific and scholarly accomplishment. With the Medal goes a cash award of $1,000. Past recipients of the Gold Medal Award are Robert Sessions Woodworth, Edwin R. Guthrie, Edwin G. Boring, John F. Dashiell, Walter R. Miles, Gordon W. Allport, Heinrich Kliiver, Karl M. Dallenbach, Floyd H. Allport, Henry A. Murray, Sidney L. Pressey, B. F. Skinner, and Gardner Murphy.

Filling the Voids with Popular Imaginaries

In the last few years, the emergence of a burgeoning middle class in Brazil has transformed the country into one of the fastest growing consumer markets in the world. For MMBB Arquitetos, based in São Paulo, social mobility and the upgrading of urban infrastructure represent a unique opportunity to develop the city. Fernando de Mello Franco of MMBB describes the practice's strategy for ‘urbanising’ much needed new infrastructure. A canal with a public park can be inserted, for instance, alongside a new drainage system, providing necessary social adhesion in a fragile urban culture. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
