Hardcover. Tan paper boards with black cloth spine, silver lettering; blue illustrated dj, mylar cover; xxiii, 292 pp. Prologue by Gene Roddenberry. Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-281) and index. "This book presents a sweeping overview of the issues that must be faced to advance space law. The book provides a conceptual foundation for such a new body of law and proposes a space constitution. Robinson and White break down space law into two broad subtopics; first, the evolving body of national and international law concerning space law practice, such as spacecraft insurance, satellite broadcast licenses, NASA contracts, and international treaty law; and second, the theoretical aspect of the evolving discipline- its underlying philosophy, paradigm, or metaphysical conception."- dj. VG/VG (ex-library with labels and stamps on spine, block, inside front and rear covers and title page verso. Pages are otherwise clean and clear.). Seller Inventory # 184872
