Review (PDF) Aviation And The Law, 4th Ed
About the book-- The title, Aviation and the Law, is an intentional reflection upon the nature of law, for aviation law is but an integral part of all law. Therefore, this book starts from the beginning, to develop for the reader a basic understanding of the law, of its philosophy, and of its structure and due process, before addressing "aviation and the law" per se. The book is assembled in six major sections, the first of which gives definition to law, touches upon notions of justice, fairness, the underlying theories of law, and upon morality. Section Two addresses criminal law as related to air transportation. Of primary concern are the issues of airport and airline security, air piracy, and other acts of criminal violence. Section Three, is an overview of civil (or tort) law in the field of aviation, focusing upon pertinent issues in their respective specialized areas, and supported by applicable case law. Section Four looks at airports and the role of government. Section Five deals with manufacturers' liability, the transfer of liability through insurance, and liability for accidents, including an overview of the government's responsibility to investigate aircraft accidents and to promote aviation safety. The final section is an introduction to international aviation law, including its historical development, the Warsaw System, bilateral governmental agreements, international competition, and exemplary court cases in this area. As with previous editions, the purpose of this book is to provide sudents of aviation with a basic understanding of law, of the legal system, and of how the principles of law may be applied to the many aspects of air commerce and air transportation. Added to this latest edition are updates on the federal aviation security provisions since September 11, 2001, expansion in the area of international air law, as well as court cases of note decided since the last edition.

If your looking at this book, it's probably because like me, you need it for your college class. Yes, these books are expensive as you take your journey thru college, and some books you wonder why they cost so much. This book on the other hand, is a real keeper, and it will serve as a valuable reference book you should have for future courses in either aviation or even management. Don't be so quick to trade this one in. I tend to buy all of my college text books new, becuase i plan to keep them for my own personal library, unless i run across a few textbooks that are just to much - this is a great book you'll find more then one class worth of use out of.
If you are interested in aviation and how laws came to be this is the book for you. It is written in sections of types of law and was a really enjoyable read. Some parts of it are funny when you see what things had to happen for laws to come to be.
This text was for an Embry Riddle class, and not one I was looking forward to reading. It was dry, as expected considering the subject matter, however, the cases made the reading a little easier. It has case example dispersed through the book so the reader can get a real-world application example.
This product was very well written, and has been a great source in many different cases. I highly recommend this book if you are in the filed as a both good information and reference.
great to have around for reading different cases and using for examples in class. useful in making your point or arguing with other students.
like new and fast delivery, will buy it back for roughly half the sale price. i order all of my books for embry-riddle from
