Outer Space: Problems Of Law And Policy
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

This second edition takes account of the important changes that have swept the field since the end of the Cold War, including the rapid growth and change in commercial space-launch services, increasingly important issues of international trade in space-related goods and services, the expansion of space-based communications services, and the move to rethink—and perhaps rewrite—the Moon Treaty. Charting the legal and political outlines of the last frontier, the volume offers extensive excerpts from major works in the field of space law to provide a sense of the many different interests and schools of thought that are shaping space policy.

As a law student, I am very interested in space law and thought that I would have a hard time finding anything on the subject. I was wrong! This book provides an excellent summary of the whole field; it's also clearer and better-written, not to more interesting, than most legal casebooks. It also contains a lot of useful reference material that would be handy to have on a shelf in law practice. Great!

A fabulous path-breaking guide to law beyond the atmosphere. Readable yet profound, it is the first of its kind and rare among textbooks. A must read for technology buffs!

The Reynolds book is a text used at the University of North Dakota Space Students graduate program for Space Law. I have found the book a pleasure to read as one who seeks to gain knowledge in this ever-growing niche field of law. Reynolds and Merges address the topic in suffivent detail to educate the reader. The comlexities of space law is emerging in this decade. I suspect that Mr. Reynolds will be compelled to write a new edition before "the decade is out."
