Opis

This reference explains the meaning of more than 3,000 acronyms, abbreviations and sobriquets used across the European Union to identify European projects, schemes, and agencies (often used to avoid the problem of translation): many have crept into everyday use over recent years and have become almost a language in themselves.

Recenzje

"In terms of breadth, depth, and quality of scholarship, this is an unusually valuable item... Among the numerous glossaries and acronym dictionaries available, none rivals this volume's coverage... Recommended for all university libraries and European studies programs." -- Choice
