The new edition includes:
- An introduction to the migration theories that explain the shifting patterns of migration in early and recent times
- Quantification of changes in migration, including international migration, domestic urbanization, and growing refugee movements
- A new chapter tracing twenty-first-century migration and population from 2000 to 2050, showing how migrants escaping climate change will steadily outnumber refugees from other social conflicts
While migration is often stressful, it contributes to diversity, exchanges, new perspectives, and innovations. This comprehensive and up-to-date view of migration will stimulate readers with interests in many fields.
