Handbook of Space Security

The Handbook of Space Security Policies, applications and programs (HdSS) is a well-structured, enjoyable and reliable reference book. Its place on the shelves of all reference libraries and members of the space community should be rapidly secured. This book is an excellent contribution to the subject in its international context. It addresses the subject of security in space at the appropriate level of international dialogue. (Prof. Dr. Lesley Jane Smith, Zeitschrift fr Luft- und Weltraumrecht, Vol. 64 (3), 2015)
