Travel Knowledge examines European travel writing from 1500-1800, with an emphasis on travel to the East Indies, Africa, and the Levant. The importance of travel literature has grown in the humanities as scholars plumb such texts for their insights on colonialism, the other, and the nation, but this is one of the first volumes on European travel in the early modern period. The essays further distinguish themselves by focusing not on the European discovery of the Americas, but on voyages to the east, and by allowing the voices of marginalized travelers to speak through history. This collection includes both critical essays and the primary texts to which they refer, a unique pairing. Travel Knowledge is essential reading in history, literature, and ethnography.

Parameter estimation is the process of using observations from a system to develop mathematical models that adequately represent the system dynamics. The assumed model consists of a finite set of parameters, the values of which are calculated using estimation techniques. Most of the techniques that exist are based on least-square minimisation of error between the model response and actual system response. However, with the proliferation of highspeed digital computers, elegant and innovative techniques like filter error method, genetic algorithms and artificial neural networks are finding more and more use in parameter estimation problems. Modelling and Parameter Estimation of Dynamic Systems presents a detailed examination of many estimation techniques and modelling problems.

This collection of papers from the International Symposium on Novel Techniques in Synthesis and Processing of Advanced Materials was presented at Materials Week '94 in Rosemont, Illinois, October 2-6, 1994. Emphasis is placed on the various methods for synthesis of materials, including mechanical milling, combustion process, sol-gel process, microwave, laser chemical vapour deposition (CVD) process, metalorganic CVD and combustion synthesis. In addition, coverage includes structural characterization at small-dimensions thermodynamics, kinetics and properties of future need for advancement in the electronic industries, and a special emphasis is given to the synthesis of nanocrystalline electronic materials.

The scope of maintenance functions in the Indian Air Force (IAF) is vast. The need for a very specialized professional conduct in each one of these is obvious from the width of deliberations in this book. Further, the reader can appreciate the virtues of an integrated approach to maintenance. The text is, therefore, as relevant to the aircrew as it is to the engineers, technicians and logisticians. The paradigm of maintenance has attained a unique character over the years in the IAF despite legacies from its British genesis. Maintenance philosophies have been adaptively developed to support ever growing air power dimensions and exclusive indigenous requirements. A maintenance engineer in the IAF gets involved with every engineering aspect of planning, design/ development acquisition and projects besides maintenance and logistics support to operations.
