"A valuable resource that can be used as a textbook for any graduate course dealing with electric motor control. It offers several problems at the end of each chapter and a rich bibliography for further studies. It is focused on permanent magnet machines... a very useful reference for engineers who deal with PM motor control. This is an advance book yet understandable for a wide range of readers and I strongly recommend it to anyone who wants to expand his/her understanding on PMSM control." -- Arash Hassanpour, IEEE Senior Member
