Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Despite the rapid growth of automation in industry and the increasing importance of electric drive systems, there are few books which cover this subject in detail. This is the first book to offer a very practical but structured approach to drive systems. It will show the reader how to size, select and implement an industrial drive system. Particular emphasis is given to smaller drive systems with detailed illustrations from the machine tool and robotics industry. This book will prove invaluable to students in electrical machinery and drive courses, and drive designers in industry and academic research laboratories.

Bibliography: p. 234-235 - Includes index.
