Cambridge University Press Spacecraft Dynamics and Control A Practical Engineering Approach 7 Cambridge Aerospace Series Series Number 7
Book SynopsisSatellites are used increasingly in telecommunications, scientific research, surveillance, and meteorology, and these satellites rely heavily on the effectiveness of complex onboard control systems. This 1997 book explains the basic theory of spacecraft dynamics and control and the practical aspects of controlling a satellite. The emphasis throughout is on analyzing and solving real-world engineering problems. For example, the author discusses orbital and rotational dynamics of spacecraft under a variety of environmental conditions, along with the realistic constraints imposed by available hardware. Among the topics covered are orbital dynamics, attitude dynamics, gravity gradient stabilization, single and dual spin stabilization, attitude maneuvers, attitude stabilization, and structural dynamics and liquid sloshing.Trade Review"This reviewer strongly recommends this back-to-basics book on spacecraft dynamics and control to the engineering libraries and to those entering aerospace engineering schools and aerospace engineering practice. Again, the author successfully achieved his stated goal of bringing practical engineering reality into early aerospace education and it makes his book, Spacecraft Dynamics and Control well worth reading and keeping as a unique reference." Applied Mechanics Reviews"One especially useful feature of the book is the extensive use of specific examples illustrating the various topics...I am confident that anyone working in the field of spacecraft dynamics will find plenty of useful material in this book. The book will also be useful as a textbook for a one- or two-semester course at the senior or first-year graduate student level." Journal of Spacecraft and RocketsTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2.

Cambridge University Press Commodity and Exchange in the Mongol Empire A Cultural History of Islamic Textiles Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization
Book SynopsisIn the thirteenth century the Mongols created a vast, transcontinental empire that intensified commercial and cultural contact throughout Eurasia. From the outset of their expansion, the Mongols identified and mobilized artisans of diverse backgrounds, frequently transporting them from one cultural zone to another. Prominent among those transported were Muslim textile workers, resettled in China, where they made clothes for the imperial court. In a meticulous and fascinating account, the author investigates the significance of cloth and colour in the political and cultural life of the Mongols. Situated within the broader context of the history of the Silk Road, the primary line in East-West cultural communication during the pre-Muslim era, the study promises to be of interest not only to historians of the Middle East and Asia, but also to art historians and textile specialists.Trade Review'In its brief compass Allsen's book makes important contributions to the study of the Mongols, offering us not only specific new information but, more importantly, alternative ways to view the workings of the Mongol Empire and its impact on the regions it covered. Allsen has chosen an original subject and investigated it in his usual imaginative, practical, and meticulous fashion. The results are illuminating.'

Cambridge University Press The Politics of Wine in Early Modern France
Book SynopsisIn the late fifteenth century, Burgundy was incorporated in the kingdom of France. This, coupled with the advent of Protestantism in the early sixteenth century, opened up new avenues for participation in public life by ordinary Burgundians and led to considerably greater interaction between the elites and the ordinary people. Mack Holt examines the relationship between the ruling and popular classes from Burgundy''s re-incorporation into France in 1477 until the Lanturelu riot in Dijon in 1630, focusing on the local wine industry. Indeed, the vineyard workers were crucial in turning back the tide of Protestantism in the province until 1630 when, following royal attempts to reduce the level of popular participation in public affairs, Louis XIII tried to remove them from the city altogether. More than just a local study, this book shows how the popular classes often worked together with local elites to shape policies that affected them.Trade Review'This beautiful book makes Dijon an observation post for the profound transformations that affected the entire kingdom in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. And we are in debt to its author for having the knowledge to guide the reader with the clarity and pedagogy of a master.' Jérôme Loiseau, Translated from Annales de Bourgogne'This is a compelling and detailed study which surveys a significant period in French history from the perspective of the province of Burgundy and its vignerons …' Noelle Plack, European History Quarterly'Mack Holt, in this tightly written and long-matured work, bases his conclusions on a profound knowledge of the Archives municipales of Dijon, one of the best preserved in France, as well as on a wide range of visual, literary, and narrative sources. In doing so, he deploys a deep knowledge of the city and its culture, interweaving an analysis of public institutions with a study of social structures and of material culture to construct a portrait of a whole society through serious upheavals and challenges.'

Cambridge University Press The Colonial Life of Pharmaceuticals
Book SynopsisSituated at the crossroads between the history of colonialism, of modern Southeast Asia, and of medical pluralism, this history of medicine and health traces the life of pharmaceuticals in Vietnam under French rule. Laurence Monnais examines the globalization of the pharmaceutical industry, looking at both circulation and consumption, considering access to drugs and the existence of multiple therapeutic options in a colonial context. She argues that colonialism was crucial to the worldwide diffusion of modern medicines and speaks to contemporary concerns regarding over-reliance on pharmaceuticals, drug toxicity, self-medication, and the accessibility of effective medicines. Retracing the steps by which pharmaceuticals were produced and distributed, readers meet the many players in the process, from colonial doctors to private pharmacists, from consumers to various drug traders and healers. Yet this is not primarily a history of medicines as objects of colonial science, but rather a hisTrade Review'Historians of colonial medicine and anthropologists who study the social life of pharmaceuticals have been eagerly awaiting this book. With exceptional panache, Monnais shows us how taking the material turn can transform the history of global health into a genealogy of our pharmaceutical present. An anthropological sensibility reveals the everyday practice of state medicine, the fostering of markets for medical commodities, and the creation of modern, drug-dependent consumers. Just like mosquitoes, it seems, drugs have lifecycles and ecological niches, and they can serve too as vectors - not of disease, but rather, of European medicine and modernity.' Warwick Anderson, University of Sydney'From colonial indifference and toxic fears to avid consumerism and hybrid therapeutics, Monnais reveals the dynamic history behind Vietnam's pharmaceutical pasts. Her meticulous research highlights Vietnamese agency in the making of a modern medical culture and provides an exemplary study of the origins of medicalization in the global south.' David Arnold, University of Warwick'Brilliantly crafted and ingeniously researched, this is an absorbing exploration of medicalization and modernization under colonial rule that underscores the foundational agency of the colonized and the persistence of therapeutic pluralism. A richly textured study of Vietnam, it also offers a compelling model for understanding the vital role of medicines as vectors of social change across the Global South.'

The mirage of mass distribution: state Quinine and essential medicines; 4. The many lives of medicines in the private market; 5.

Book SynopsisThe Everglades underwent a metaphorical and ecological transition from impenetrable swamp to endangered wetland. This study situates the environmental transformation of the Everglades within the economic and historical geography of global sugar production and trade.Trade Review"Raising Cane in the 'Glades argues that the transformation of Florida's Everglades was less a result of changing cultural values and more an outcome of political struggles that involved international competition, regional political interest, and local struggles. Hollander's method is innovative in the way that regional transformation is traced out through a single commodity in a specific time and place." - Altha Cravey, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"
