`If you want to own only one book on space law the newly published Handbook of Space Law, edited by Professor Frans von der Dunk, is it!' -- Air and Space Law `Professor Frans von der Dunk has never been threatened by modesty. Most striking is, however, that he always follows words with deeds. It is true for this Handbook of Space Law, which is indeed a particular accomplishment.' -- Kai-Uwe Schrogl, Head of the ESA Policies Department, European Space Agency (ESA) `It really is a fantastic book analyzing all the relevant matters.' -- Sagi Kfir, General Counsel, Deep Space Industries `. . . a defining compendium in the space law lexicon.' -- Sam Peterson, Operations Manager, European Space Agency (ESA) `Another great publication from the legends of space law' -- Yanal Abul Failat, Legal Consultant, LXL LLP `. . . a great resource for practitioners.' -- Mark Ells, Project Director, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, US `It is highly recommendable to study this comprehensive work edited by Frans von der Dunk and have it on the bookshelf as a reliable piece of information and a source of thought provoking ideas.' -- Mahulena Hofmann, together with Andreas Loukakis and Simona Spassova, SES Chair in Satellite Communication and Media Law, University of Luxembourg `The intellectual frontlines of the coming skirmishes along this new frontier will doubtless be populated by the readers of this Handbook of Space Law. Just like the book offers a multi-angular approach to the various main issues involved, the increasing diversity and audacity of the entrepreneurs in the emerging space arena will require a matching multi-dimensional cast of space lawyers.' -- Taken from the Foreword by Rusty Schweickart, Apollo 9 `This handbook will - with all these merits - become a leading publication in the field of space law for retrieving information, analysis as well as inspiration. Editor, assistant editor and the further ten contributors have rendered an outstanding service to space law.' -- Prof. Dr. Kai-Uwe Schrogl, Zeitschrift fur Luft- und Weltraumrecht `Offering the most comprehensive and up-to-date analysis on legal and regulatory aspects of space activities and major space applications, this Handbook of Space Law provides fundamental guidance to those who are interested in the legal aspects of mankind's main activities in outer space. The handbook will be of particular interest to students, researchers, lawyers, and policy-makers in space law in general or in particular areas thereof. Due to the highly dynamic nature of space technology and applications, it is possible that new legal and regulatory issues will arise after the appearance of this handbook. In the further examination of such new issues, the comprehensive scope, the multidimensional and comparative approach, and the forward-looking perspective adopted in this study should be encouraged.' -- Chinese Journal of Comparative Law
