Space Law

'Space Law: A Treatise contains a font of knowledge. It is not only an ambitious work but one that makes good reading. It will become a standard reference work for those consulting and interacting with the space community. Its title is truly reflected by its content.' Space Policy 'Fundamental knowledge of the subject and vast experience of the authors make this treatise a valuable source of information for students, practitioners and all those interested in the origins and development of this exciting legal discipline. Readers will gain a good insight into the current state and many challenges facing the legal regulation of outer space activities.' V.S. Vereshchetin, Honorary Director of the International Institute of Space Law and Former Member of the International Court of Justice 'Brilliant treatise, written by two outstanding scholars, covering the entire gamut of issues involved in space law. It is written with clarity necessary for comprehension of the complex issues covered from the speculative beginnings of space law to its practical applications in governmental and commercial space activities. An outstanding educational and reference tool that may well be used by generations of scholars and practitioners.' Nandi Jasentuliyana, International Institute of Space Law, The Netherlands 'This treatise, authored by two of the leading experts in the complicated and rapidly-developing field of outer space law, is a unique asset. It is both comprehensive (covering a wide swath of public and private law issues) and current (providing both the historical background and the up-to-the-minute details of contemporary controversies), and its many footnotes provide citations to documents that are both obscure and important. It is sure to become an indispensable component of any space lawyer's bookshelf.' David A. Koplow, Georgetown University, USA
