Vector control has become a powerful and frequently adopted technique that permits the use of induction and synchronous machine drives for high-performance applications previously restricted to unwieldy d.c. drives. This book provides detailed discussion of the various forms of vector control of smooth-air-gap and salient-pole electrical machines supplied by impressed stator voltages, currents, or impressed rotary currents. It includes coverage of rotor oriented, rotor-flux oriented, stator-flux oriented, and magnetizing-flux oriented control. Other topics include the necessary decoupling circuits, the effects of non-ideal drives, and rotor speed and rotor resistance identification by means of model reference adaptive control theory. This is an ideal text for students and for anyone requiring in-depth coverage of space phasor and generalized electrical machine theories and the control of variable-speed a.c. drives.

About the only defect of this volume is its unwieldy title; otherwise it will lure any diamond fan worthy of the name. Of course, some of the choices are almost automatic, particularly the seven races included that ended in playoffs ('46, '48, '51, '59, '62, '78, '80) and those that otherwise have become part of baseball's legend, like the finish of the Miracle Braves of Boston in 1914, the play of Fred Merkle, who failed to touch a base and cost the New York Giants a pennant, and the wild pitch by New York Highlanders' 41-game-winner Jack Chesbro, which gave the flag to the Boston Red Sox. And there are other exciting drives of more recent vintage, like the collapse of the Phillies in 1964 and the victory of the Amazin' Mets of 1969. Additionally, Reidenbaugh has a nice turn of phrase, dubbing Brooklyn manager Burt Shotton a "gentle geriatric" and remarking that the '62 Mets "embraced futility with unrestrained ardor."

Editorial Reviews: The Boston Globe, Ernie Santosuosso Deborah Henson-Conant, who has converted a seemingly unwieldy instrument into a genuine jazz voice, mixes standards with an original composition. Accompanied by bassist John Lockwood and drummer Bob Gullotti, Henson-Conant opens with her composition, ''Round the Corner.' It's a flighty, improvisational venture for the harpist, whose launching pad is a delicately bluesy 32-bar statement played in unison with Lockwood's singing bass. The song

A detailed introduction to the methods used by ecologists--classification and ordination--to clarify and interpret large, unwieldy masses of multivariate field data. Permits ecologists to understand, not just mechanically use, pre-packaged programs for multivariate analysis. Demonstrates these techniques using artificial data simple enough for every analytical step to be understood.

The twentieth century was a time of unprecedented development in mathematics, as well as in all sciences: more theorems were proved and results found in a hundred years than in all of previous history. In The Mathematical Century, Piergiorgio Odifreddi distills this unwieldy mass of knowledge into a fascinating and authoritative overview of the subject. He concentrates on thirty highlights of pure and applied mathematics. Each tells the story of an exciting problem, from its historical origins to its modern solution, in lively prose free of technical details. Odifreddi opens by discussing the four main philosophical foundations of mathematics of the nineteenth century and ends by describing the four most important open mathematical problems of the twenty-first century. In presenting the thirty problems at the heart of the book he devotes equal attention to pure and applied mathematics, with applications ranging from physics and computer science to biology and economics. Special attention is dedicated to the famous "23 problems" outlined by David Hilbert in his address to the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1900 as a research program for the new century, and to the work of the winners of the Fields Medal, the equivalent of a Nobel prize in mathematics. This eminently readable book will be treasured not only by students and their teachers but also by all those who seek to make sense of the elusive macrocosm of twentieth-century mathematics.

The authors were originally brought together to share research and applications through the international Danfoss Professor Programme at Aalborg University in Denmark. Personal computers would be unwieldy and inefficient without power electronic dc supplies. Portable communication devices and computers would also be impractical. High-performance lighting systems, motor controls, and a wide range of industrial controls depend on power electronics. In the near future we can expect strong growth in automotive applications, dc power supplies for communication systems, portable applications, and high-end converters. We are approaching a time when all electrical energy will be processed and controlled through power electronics somewhere in the path from generation to end use. The most up-to-date information available is presented in the textWritten by a world renowned leader in the field

In this innovative approach to the practice of social science, Charles Ragin explores the use of fuzzy sets to bridge the divide between quantitative and qualitative methods. Paradoxically, the fuzzy set is a powerful tool because it replaces an unwieldy, "fuzzy" instrument—the variable, which establishes only the positions of cases relative to each other, with a precise one—degree of membership in a well-defined set. Ragin argues that fuzzy sets allow a far richer dialogue between ideas and evidence in social research than previously possible. They let quantitative researchers abandon "homogenizing assumptions" about cases and causes, they extend diversity-oriented research strategies, and they provide a powerful connection between theory and data analysis. Most important, fuzzy sets can be carefully tailored to fit evolving theoretical concepts, sharpening quantitative tools with in-depth knowledge gained through qualitative, case-oriented inquiry. This book will revolutionize research methods not only in sociology, political science, and anthropology but in any field of inquiry dealing with complex patterns of causation.

Understanding Jack Kerouac introduces readers to what Matt Theado calls Kerouac’s “unwieldy accretion of published work”—fiction, poetry, nonfiction, selected letters, religious writing, and “true-story novels.” Presenting this cultural icon of the Beat Generation primarily as a writer rather than as a social rebel or media celebrity, Theado elucidates the reasons Kerouac’s reputation has outlived disparaging beatnik associations and why his writings continue to attract an expanding readership. Theado takes a book-by-book approach to the sometimes-confusing canon and develops a framework for understanding Kerouac’s thematic concerns, writing techniques, and artistic evolution. Proposing that the real legend of Jack Kerouac is the saga of a writer at work, Theado suggests that as recognition of Kerouac’s artistic achievement grows, the Duluoz Legend—Kerouac’s series of barely fictionalized re-creations of his life—outgrows the genre of autobiography and becomes an intimate chronicle of a writer’s stylistic maturation. Theado traces Kerouac’s development as a crafter of language and contends that spontaneous prose, Kerouac’s literary hallmark, may prove to be his chief claim to literary longevity.
