Recenzje

'In Anju Mary Paul's [book], we see the transnational social lives of the scientists … and come to understand the complex decisions that shape their scientific careers and migratory decisions … Paul brings her much-needed expertise in international migration and her skill as a rigorous empirical social scientist to the study of Asian scientists.' Larry Au, East Asian Science, Technology and Society: An International Journal
