A decent compilation of the relevant issues, but those interested will be better served by either a more up to date text, such as Professor Lyall and Larsen's Space Law, or the authoritative texts by Bin Cheng Studies in International Space Law or Manfred Lachs The Law of Outer Space - An Experience in Contemporary Law-Making. A good text for its treatment from the American perspective, and with attention to related issues such as the Nuclear Test Ban treaty.
