  Full of facts and figures, this book uses thematic spreads, illustrated with tables, charts and maps to explain the geographical, political, economic, social and cultural issues that affect the European Community, its member states and other countries of Europe. Comparative features highlight population, language, religion, industry, agriculture, housing, trade, living standards, energy, transport, the environment, defence, law and order, education, health, the media and the arts. Authoritative articles investigate the institutions of the EC, European unity, the expansion of the EC, the rise of nationalism in the 1990s and the re-establishment of market economies in Eastern Europe. Profiles of all 45 European countries cover population, central and local government, politics, the economy, physical geography and current events.
