Review:

`A collection like this is useful as it helps save time in the search for relevant literature and helps finding interesting articles from less-known journals one might have missed otherwise. Together the volumes comprise a large collection of contributions to migration research, and therefore may have great practical value to those engaged in it - particularly those just starting their research.' -- Clara H. Mulder, European Journal of Population
