Robert Lucas written an important and engaging book about a subject in international people migration that has received relatively little attention. Research and writing about international migration has tended to focus on three aspects of that movement, namely (1) the actual act of migrating, (2) the effects on the receiving countries or areas of the migration, or (3) the effects on the sending countries or areas of the migration. While (1) and (2) have received most of the attention, Lucas has focused on the third: what is the impact of international migration on the sending or the origin country or area? His book offers a clear, well organized, well researched picture of the development that may or may not take place in the sending regions that can be linked directly or indirectly to the fact that people have emigrated to other countries, areas, or regions. In his picture of development, economic development is emphasized, but other connections with the sending areas are also included; material is included that, for example, relates to the social effects of emigration on those who do not migrate. The discussion is quite complete, with no obvious omissions.
