The Geostationary Ring: Practice and Law addresses numerous physical aspects of this highly sought-after orbit which serves as the backbone for international satellite communications and analyses the evolution of its use, coordination and related disputes along with sovereignty claims over segments of the Geostationary Orbit. The author, Martha Mejía-Kaiser, discusses the increasing population of this orbital region with operational spacecraft, its pollution with man-made space debris, and the upcoming active space removal by external systems. Based on empirical data, the author analyses in unprecedented detail a measurable State practice in the efforts of keeping this orbital region operational, and addresses key legal questions with regard to the benefit and interests of all nations, equitable access and its economic and rationale use.

The Papers of Martha Washington is the first scholarly edition of Martha Washington's correspondence, spanning her entire life, from her youth as a wealthy but largely unknown Virginian plantation mistress through her ascent to becoming an American icon. Her family letters (including the four letters and brief postcript that comprise her surviving correspondence with George Washington) make up most of the volume, bringing to light Martha Washington's personality in her own words. As she rose to fame, she began to correspond with such significant figures in American history as Mercy Otis Warren, Abigail Adams, Elizabeth Willing Powel, and the Marquis de Lafayette, and this correspondence paints a picture of the social life during the Revolutionary War and the Early Republic. For periods where few documents survive, the editors have selected financial papers and third-party documents that fill in some of the blanks. The volume, which includes biographical directories, timelines, maps, editorial essays, a calendar of financial documents, and appendices in order to flesh out Martha Washington's world and her intricate family connections, will serve both as a valuable historical tool and a readable introduction to the life of America's first "First Lady.""--]cProvided by publisher.
