The introductory essay explains some of the history and technical aspects of remote sensing itself (the invention of the camera lies at its beginnings) and sketches out the legal issues that current technology raises with regard to gathering and processing data from space. This book is based on the author's doctoral dissertation (2008: U. of Paris XI, France). Ito is affiliated with the International Christian University, Tokyo, Japan and has authored numerous articles on space law issues. Here she looks at environmental law, disaster management, data policy and verification of accuracy and authenticity, and liability. The concluding chapter reviews key issues and offers recommendations. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
