If you're looking for a concise yet comprehensive introduction to the universe of Space Law, look no further. (3rd Edition)

[Chris · Rating 5 out of 5]

Readable, clear, authoritative and wholly engrossing, I would recommend this book to any student or enthusiast of space law. With the promulgation of more national space legislation, the acceleration of new developments in space by a greater number of actors, and the increasing role of private, commercial entities, I predict that this book be the last book which encompasses all of space law within a single volume. The serious student of space law should have this book on their shelf, next to The Law and Policy of Air Space and Outer Space:: A Comparative Approach and The Law of Outer Space - An Experience in Contemporary Law-Making, for their continual assistance and enjoyment. The entire text shows a deep knowledge of the field, and the footnoted sources will doubtlessly incite the inquisitive reader's further readings.

Covers everything clearly, from the search for aliens to issuance, every corner of space is covered. Highly recommend for anyone interested in space law, as every page is full to the brim with footnotes to continue your journey into the specifics of space law. In essence, this book is the moon base to the rest of the Space Law universe.
