The world of artificial systems is reaching hitherto undreamed-of levels
of complexity. Surface traffic, electricity distribution, mobile communications,
etc., demonstrate that problems are arising that are beyond classical scientific
or engineering knowledge. In order that our ability to control such systems
should not be hindered by lack of comprehension, there is an on-going effort
to understand them.This book is an example of the types of approach that
European researchers are using to tackle problems derived from systems'
complexity. It has grown out of activities in the Control of Complex Systems
(COSY) research program the goals of which are to promote multi-disciplinary
activity leading to a deeper understanding and further development of control
technologies for complex systems and if possible, to develop the theory
underlying such systems. The material in this book represents a selection
of the results of the COSY program and is organised as a collection of
essays of varying nature: surveys of essential areas, discussion of specific
problems, case studies, and benchmark problems.Topics covered include:Modelling
complex physical systems;Passivity-based control of non-linear systems;Aspects
of fault identification and fault tolerance;Control design;Learning control;Satellite
attitude control.Complex systems appear in many different fields and for
this reason this book should be of interest to scientists, researchers
and industrial engineers with a broad spectrum of experience.

Schmidt and Colwell's Policy and the Political Life of Music Education provides a thorough introduction to many of the historical, contemporary, and global issues surrounding music education policy. Additionally, the book encourages music educators of differentiated experiences in policy to further explore new ideas not fullyextrapolated in the text.

Policy and the Political Life of Music Education

"This compelling collection of interdisciplinary readings addresses a perennial concern: what is the proper relationship of the individual to the collective? The authors approach this question from a variety of perspectives, some of which argue in favor of empathy and altruism while others offer a spirited defense of selfishness and individualism. Throughout, they bring clarity to these issues by carefully defining these terms and providing vivid, real-world examples. This is a welcome addition to an important dialogue." - Matthew T. Lee, Associate Professor and Interim Chair, Department of Sociology, University of Akron

"For the Greater Good of All is a stimulating inter-disciplinary collection of reflections on what is, and how do we get to, the greater good for all. The contributors form a who's-who panel of experts whose reflections are sure to enrich society as well as stimulate exciting thinking in readers. Few edited books can someone sit down and read. This is one of the few that you can learn from, feel that society will benefit from, and yet enjoy." - Everett L. Worthington, Jr., author of A Just Forgiveness: Responsible Forgiveness without Excusing Injustice

"No greater problem than the greater good! Are we interested in it only insofar as it serves us, as some would argue, or do we possess social interests that transcend our narrow selves? This volume looks at the interaction between the individual and the collective from all possible angles, from Ayn Rand to primate behavior, illuminating how every member needs its group and how every group needs to serve its members." - Frans de Waal, author of The Age of Empathy

"Advancing our knowledge of society s big questions will require interdisciplinary efforts such as this. This book features an outstanding collection of noted scholars from a wide range of disciplines." - Ronald E. Riggio, Henry R. Kravis Professor of Leadership and Organizational Psychology, Claremont McKenna College

"Arielli's monograph is a useful and valuable contribution to the historiography of the Fascist dictatorship. Nonetheless, it also has a clear appeal to any scholar of contemporary international relations in the Middle East and to the general reader in that it provides important insights into the policy and diplomacy of great powers in the Mediterranean area. Finally, in a scholarly landscape dominated by the studies of Emilio Gentile and Roger Griffin and by their interpretation of fascism only in terms of totalitarianism, the empirical approach of Arielli, so concentrated on Italy's pragmatic geopolitical interests, brings us back to ground." - Elisabetta Cassina Wolff, University of Olso, Norway

’... Recommended.’  Choice  'Musicologist rarely write about ballet, and not very often about Prokofiev, so Stephen Press's volume on Prokofiev's ballets for Diaghilev is doubly welcome, closing a serious gap in the study of 20th-century music and culture.  Another virtue of the book is that it is the first large-scale project to incorporate material from Prokofiev's diaries, which have only recently been published, in Russian... Press's book deserves to be recommended to all who have a love for Prokofiev's music, or who are interested in Diaghilev's enterprises.  The book's solid scholarship will satisfy academic readers, but the style is also welcoming to a much wider readership.' Dance Gazette  'The more absorbed in the book I became, the more fascinating it was... The author['s] meticulous research for this volume should induce the reader to consider much more closely the Prokofiev ballets that are largely forgotten and usually glossed over...' Dancing Times  '... the first half of the book is full of scintillating accounts of the relationships of the artistic factions that thrived during the post-war ear in Paris... Press zeroes into the musical issues of the three ballets in the second half of his study, offering examples from the scores and comparisons to materials by other composers.  The reader who has enjoyed so far his intriguing account of the collaboration will find additional anecdotal material in these pages to keep him reading.' Ballet/Dance  ’The strength of his book resides in the music details: Press offers one of the most nimble discussions of Prokofiev's harmonic and rhythmic language that I have yet encountered.’ Slavic Review  'Those interested in dance history have much to learn here, as Press draws on Russian sources only recently made available, such as the composer's diary from 1907 to 1933...' Dance Now  ’... the first book-length study in any language of the composer's early work in ballet.  As such, the new volume is a long ov
