H.W. Wilson Announces The European Union
New Volume in The Reference Shelf Series
New York, New York, March 14, 2005
H.W. Wilson today announced
The European Union, an in-depth examination of the ongoing
integration of European nations into a single political and economic
entity. From its beginnings as a modest confederation for the merging
of coal and steel industries, to today's EU, encompassing 25 nations
and some 455 million people, The European Union looks at the history,
aims, and challenges of forging this unprecedented and sometimes
controversial bloc.
Students, journalists, and general readers will
appreciate articles from diverse sources, on EU membership (including
the controversy over Turkey), trade and finance, open borders,
security and relations with the U.S., and environmental policy. An
appendix features a timeline of the EU, from World War I through
December 2004.
Each book in The Reference Shelf series
offers extensive exploration of a current topic of importance in
modern society, in a compilation of notable articles from respected
publications, plus abstracts of 20 to 30 additional articles and a
bibliography of other sources. Reference Shelf volumes provide a
well-rounded, non-biased overview for researchers and general readers.
Volume 77 (2005) will include The European Union, Free Trade,
Women's Rights, The United States Supreme Court, Representative
American Speeches 2004-2005, and a volume devoted to the U.S.
National Debate Topic 2005-2006 (to be announced). Libraries that
order complete 6-volume sets receive a substantial discount.
Review copies of Reference Shelf volumes are
available for members of the press. For more on the Reference Shelf,
