Book Description
"[This book] explores the oldest and most important controversy in space law: how far up does national airspace go, and where does the international environment of outer space begin? Even though nations did not object to the first satellites flying over their sovereign territory, after more than six decades there is still no international agreement on how low the right of space object overflight extends, nor are there agreed legal definitions of 'space object' and 'space activity.' [The author]...offers a draft international convention to settle the oldest and most intractable problems in space law."--

Book Description
A series of stories put together to make you laugh and reflect on the good things in life. Many of the stories are true in nature, telling of the comical things said and done by kids and grandkids as they were growing up. There is also a mixture of fiction and some stories about the author's thoughts as he travels to and fro. Hunters and fishermen will enjoy the fiction. Moms will recognize such things as an occasional toad in the jeans pockets. Nature lovers will enjoy the lines about the wind, clouds, and trees. Most of these stories are written to ease the stress of daily life. If you take the time to read two stories a day for a month, see how they may start or end your day with a laugh, and at the end of the month, you may be less stressed out.
