Recenzje

’...the book is well organised...this book presents valuable research findings that should be of great interest to graduate students, academics, and policy makers in the regional science community.’ Papers in Regional Science ’Crossing Borders...addresses a hot topic that is of interest to geographers at all levels of education...it is a book for specialists...geographers will be most attracted by the discussions of spatial and urban issues.’ Geography ’This book offers a wide range of papers and provides a great deal of information which might be useful as a reference source for researchers and graduates.’ Environment and Planning A ’...this set of research papers, containing a varied set of theoretical, empirical and policy perspectives, is both interesting and informative...plenty of instructive material in this volume for researchers and students of geography, as well as economics, to digest and enjoy.’ Progress in Human Geography ’This book is a very useful contribution to our understanding of a phenomenon that is of major importance and will become even more important in the near future. Scientists as well as policy makers can take advantage of the insights that are being put forward...’ Regional Studies ’...can only be commended...by bringing together no fewer than twenty five economists and geographers...’ Journal of Economic and Social Geography ’The book provides a little of everything, including competent reviews of migration theories, more original case studies of cities and regions, and migration models. The editors have not imposed any one view on the authors, and the result is a stimulating blend of ideas and approaches...This is a useful, informative, and scholarly book...’ Journal of International Migration and Integration
