People on the Move: An Atlas of Migration
This affordably priced guide to migration opens with an introduction that does an excellent job of explaining the complexities involved in studying, evaluating, and reporting on the subject. The book is divided into three main sections: a history of migration, contemporary global migration patterns, and current issues in migration. Each section begins with a one-page introduction, which is followed by a number of two-page spreads offering brief narrative, maps, and graphs. A fourth section contains data charts on “Economics & Movement” and “Migration Policy.” Although information on the history of migration can be found more completely in other sources, such as author King’s Atlas of Human Migration (Firefly, 2007), this volume’s treatment of contemporary migration patterns and issues provides intriguing starting points for further research. Suitable for public and undergraduate libraries. --Elaine Lindstrom--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
