Readable book on the European Union lagal framwork
'EU Law' is one of the most comprehensive books on the gradual development of what today is the European Union and its institutions. Written by two British scholars, the book also deals with this rather heavy subject in a personal and charming way. Although the book emphasizes so much on the legal aspects of the Union framework, 'EU Law' is indeed 'readable' for a much wider audience than lawyers and law students.
EU Law
Once you can get past the uninspiring presentation of this book, with its tome like endless text on loo-roll paper, you will discover this is an excellent discussion of all the pertinent issues on the full range of European Law topics. It is fully up to date and has a useful commentary as to the impact of proposed reforms to the Union, and generally is a handy aid to anyone with essays to write, as it pulls ideas together rather than simply churning out the facts.
I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a handy summary; it is pretty weighty. It is more a great companion to anyone involved in ongoing study.
A few diagrams, larger text and shinier paper would have been nice, but it is pretty good anyway!
