●Presentation provides a balance of theory and practice, emphasize dynamic behavior, physical and empirical modeling, computer simulation, measurement and control technology, fundamental control concepts, and advanced control strategies.●Material is divided into reasonably short chapters to make it more readable and modular. This organization allows some chapters to be omitted without a loss of continuity.●The mathematical level of the book is oriented toward a junior or senior student in chemical engineering who has taken at least one course in differential equations.●Additional mathematical tools required for the analysis of control systems are introduced as needed. The authors emphasize process control techniques that are used in practice and provide detailed mathematical analysis only when it is essential for understanding the material.●Key theoretical concepts are illustrated with numerous examples, exercises, and simulations.

This book describes how a social-norms model of taxation rose and fell in British-ruled Palestine and the State of Israel in the mid-twentieth century. Such a model, in which non-legal means were used to foster compliance, appeared in the tax system created by the Jewish community in 1940s Palestine and was later adopted by the new Israeli state in the 1950s. It gradually disappeared in subsequent decades as law and its agents, lawyers and accountants, came to play a larger role in the process of taxation. By describing the historical interplay between formal and informal tools for creating compliance, Tax Law and Social Norms in Mandatory Palestine and Israel sheds new light on our understanding of the relationship between law and other methods of social control, and reveals the complex links between taxation and citizenship.
