The book is an up-to-date and comprehensive description of the
institutions involved in the aerospace field. It discusses the
activities of the main space powers, the United Nations and other
international organizations. Without listing figures and budgets,
the author conveys a clear idea of the relative importance of those
institutions. The novelty of this work is that, in bringing
together national and international entities, it explains how those
organizations interrelate and coordinate their programs. A complete
picture emerges which is more than the sum of its parts.
The field of aerospace, which depends heavily on government
funding and direction, has been particularly effected by the
shifting alliances and recent financial troubles of the space
powers. In a book which is both comprehensive and simple to
understand, d'Angelo has collected the many pieces of a complex
institutional mosaic to draw a clear picture of the entire
framework. In addition to being up-to-date, the book is also a
novelty in the sense that it describes the work of both national
and international entities and explains how those organizations
interrelate and coordinate their programs. Without making a list of
figures and budgets, d'Angelo gives a clear idea of the relative
weight of the various government activities. From the discussion of
those activities the reader gains an understanding of the current
state of affairs as well as future trends.
