European Union law - Horspool, Margot (Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2006)
"Horspool and Humphreys' European Union Law provides an overview of both the European institutions and main areas of substantive law in a concise volume. The authors convey clearly to the reader the key facts and principles of European Union law, making it an ideal first text for undergraduate and GDL EU courses. Its concise nature, focus on key areas, and self-test questions, also make this a useful revision text." "The new edition has a larger format and layout to aid navigation, and includes a new chapter on environmental law, as well as useful updated suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter."--Jacket.
