Tea is one of the world's most popular beverages after water, and the birthplace of tea is China. Until the 1830s, China was the only producer of tea, and today it remains the world's greatest producer and consumer. Tea in China is a history of China's national drink, where it came from, how it was drunk, and the place it has occupied in Chinese society from prehistory to the present. Along the way, Evans looks at the myths surrounding the dev...

The universities of Britain, France, Germany, and the United States stem from a common European academic tradition and are today among the most influential and powerful in the world. Each has cultivated a high degree of scientific and intellectual autonomy and has served as a model for world higher education. Yet, those four systems are structurally distinct and show considerably different patterns of development. In Centers of Learning Joseph...

One of the hallmarks of the Soviet system was its heavy reliance on internal and foreign security and intelligence organizations. Not surprisingly, given the secrecy surrounding Soviet efforts in these areas, no biographical reference tools and few bibliographies have been published to date. In this context, Michael Parrish's work is a unique undertaking. In the first section to the volume, biographies are provided on some 4, 000 officials in ...

Crime statistics suggest that Americans are not a notably law-abiding people. With some 13 million felonies reported every year, it is not surprising that few topics engage public attention and imagination more compellingly than the dynamics of criminal behavior. Volume and ubiquity alone might suggest the psychology of criminal behavior is well understood and there exists an integrated body of explanatory theory and empirical evidence. But in...

The central objective of this volume is to survey the development experience of the Latin American region in the 1980s and explore prospects for the coming decade. In this context, themes of crucial importance for the region are examined, from democratic consolidation to the debt problem.

Examining US policy in Angola during the 1980s, this text shows how the Reagan administration and US media inflated the importance of Jonas Savimbi and helped inflame the civil war in Angola. The author explains how the Bush administration and the media have continued to support Savimbi.

The purpose of this monograph is to describe a class of com- putational methods, based on polynomial matrices, for the design of dynamic compensators for linear multi-variable control systems. The design of the compensator, which may be either analogue or digital, is based on pole assignment. A matrix fraction description, which employs polynomial matri- ces, is used to represent the system. The design comptuta- tion, however, employs m...

These lecture notes focus on the synthesis of robust con- trollers for feedback systems, in the presence of unstruc- tured perturbations. It is assumed, as a prerequisites, that the reader is familiar with the basic linear system and au- tomatic control concepts. In part I interpolation theory is used to solve various single-input-single-output (SISO) ro- bust control problems. While the interpolation approach is awkward for multivariab...
