Population Movements and the Third World

'The book is a valiant and successful attempt to encompass within a mere 158 pages the wide scope of population movements within a theoretical framework, with worked examples. It is also good value for money and thus an attractive book for selection as a recommended course text. - Geography'.. a useful source for the undergraduate knowledge base in Population Studies as well as in Geography.' - Population Studies'... this slim volume certainly achieves its objective of providing a concise appraisal of population movements in the developing world and will be of value in all introductory courses on development.' - Third World Planning Review'... this book offers students, and some teachers, a sugar-coated introduction to the range and implications of movements increasingly affecting third world populations.' - Progress in Human Geography
