Rezensionen

"The various quantitative and qualitative methods - including their limitations - are outlined in detail in a separate chapter on the overall methodological framework. Indeed, readers may find it surprising how successfully data from a two-wave panel survey, life-story interviews and photo elicitation exercises complement each other both across and within chapters. This coherence is what gives the volume its main strength and argumentative authority. ... the book evidences that thorough empirical research on mobility practices is both desirable and possible." (Chris Moreh, JCMS Journal of Common Market Studies, Vol. 54 (6), 2016)
