Summary: Excellent review of space law but time for new edition.
Comment: 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."

Summary: A first-rate introduction to space law
Comment: 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!

| Editorial Reviews: |
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.
