      abstract = {"This book tackles the regulatory issues of Unmanned  Aerial Systems (UAS) or Remotely-Piloted Aerial Systems  (RPAS), which have profound consequences for privacy,  security and other fundamental liberties. Collectively  known as 'drones,' they were initially deployed for  military purposes: reconnaissance, surveillance and  extrajudicial executions. Today, we are witnessing a growth  of their use into the civilian and humanitarian domain.  They are increasingly used for goals as diverse as news  gathering, aerial inspection of oil refinery flare stacks,  mapping of the Amazonian rain-forest, crop spraying and  search and rescue operations.  The civil use of drones is  becoming a reality in the European Union and in the US.The  drone revolution may be a new technological revolution.  Proliferation of the next generation of 'recreational'  drones show how drones will be sold as any other consumer  item. The cultural perception of the technology is  shifting, as drones are increasingly being used for  humanitarian activities, on one hand, but they can also  firmly be situated in the prevailing modes of postmodern  governance on the other hand"--Provided by publisher.},
