Churchill
covers
his
subject
thoroughly
and
in
fact
deals
with
several
topics
scarcely
mentioned
elsewhere
in
the
literature
such
as
the
marketing
of
and
trade
in
fisheries
products,
brings
the
work
of others
up
to
date
(by
including
Spain
and
Portugal,
for
example),
and
analyses
the
actual
functioning
of
the
common
fisheries
policy
rather
than
merely
describing the
policy
and
its
negoti-
ation
as
others
have
done.
The
book
is
thus
of
interest
to
economists
and
geographers
as
well
as
lawyers.
It
is
a
worthy
successor
to
M.
Wise's
The
Common
Fisheries
Policy
of
the
European
Community
(1984),
the
only
notable
work
on
the
subject
by
a
geographer.
Both
the Dahmani
and
Churchill
books
began
as
theses
at
the
University
of
Wales.
That
by
Churchill
is
more
complete
and
more
professional
but
Dahmani's
work
is
competent
and
reliable.
Both
should
be
read
and
referred
to
by
anyone
concerned
with how
we
are
to
feed
the
six
billion
people
living
on
this
earth
by
the
end
of
this
century.

There
is
a
general
lack
of
understanding
of
the
basic issues
pertinent
to
American
security
policy,
largely because
of
the
confusing
transmis-
sion
of information
in
the
form
of
interdependent
news
releases
on
weapon
systems
procurement
and
policy
announcements.
To
develop
a
better
understanding,
Richard
Stoll
urges
his
readers
to
utilize
research
to
decipher
the
myths
associated
with
American
policy
and
grasp the
problems
facing
the United
States
in
the
international
envi-
ronment.
As
he
argues
convincingly,
this
form
of
investigation
into

security
involves
illustrating
the
patterns
