This book contains every thing written in engineering control. Every topic is presented in full detail with helpful examples. If you don't know any thing about control, follow this book page by page and you will be a professional control engineer. You don't need to make any revision before using the book because the first four sections of the book are "Mathematical Foundations" which will give you the needed background to use the book efficiently. If you buy 10 books in various topics of control, you will still find things in The Control Handbook that are not available in your books. My advice is: " this book is a must"

If you are a control engineer, get this book now. Not only does it cover all (relevant) topics in the broad field of controls, it contains literally hundreds of references to more detailed treatments of everything. I want to read it all. Wow!

This handbook is good to have as a reference. However, there are much better handbooks out there, which are better organized by topic. After purchase, I read it once and have not found myself revisiting it since. Again, it is good as a tool for control engineers, but not the best.

Definetively the best reference on Control Systems. Every aspect of control is expertly covered, from the mathematical foundations to the applications in industry.

The Control systems handbook is the biggest, most comprehensive, and most prestigious compilation of articles on control systems available. With many contributions from many leading experts, this big book is organized in three major sections:
- Fundamentals of Control.
- Advanced Methods of Control.
- Applications of Control.

The enourmous and unique scope of this handbook, couple with its excellent organization, garanteed that it will become the standard reference in the library of any individual with a strong interest in Control Systems, or working with Control Applications.

I bought this book to get a good handle on Proportional Integral control for HVAC work. This book is loaded with every control theory thought up by mankind. Not a coffee table book to simply gloss over concepts, in the hopes no one finds out that you're an overpaid clod. You will need to have your math skills in order. Has the magical properties to either inspire, or put to sleep any near genius.
