This sweeping and unprecedented chronicle of the economic and social connections between the two nations opens a new window onto history from the Civil War to today and brilliantly illuminates the course of events that made the United States a global empire. The Mexican Revolution, Manifest Destiny, World War II, and NAFTA are all part of the story, but John Mason Hart's narrative transcends these moments of economic and political drama, resonating with the themes of wealth and power. Combining economic and historical analysis with personal memoirs and vivid descriptions of key episodes and players, Empire and Revolution is based on substantial amounts of previously unexplored source material. Hart excavated recently declassified documents in the archives of the United States government and traveled extensively in rural Mexico to uncover the rich sources for this gripping story of 135 years of intervention, cooperation, and corruption.Beginning just after the American Civil War, Hart traces the activities of an elite group of financiers and industrialists who, sensing opportunities for wealth to the south, began to develop Mexico's infrastructure. He charts their activities through the pivotal regime of Porfirio Díaz, when Americans began to gain ownership of Mexico's natural resources, and through the Mexican Revolution, when Americans lost many of their holdings in Mexico. Hart concentrates less on traditional political history in the twentieth century and more on the hidden interactions between Americans and Mexicans, especially the unfolding story of industrial production in Mexico for export to the United States. Throughout, this masterful narrative illuminates the development and expansion of the American railroad, oil, mining, and banking industries. Hart also shows how the export of the "American Dream" has shaped such areas as religion and work attitudes in Mexico.Empire and Revolution reveals much about the American psyche, especially the compulsion of American elites toward wealth, global power, and contact with other peoples, often in order to "save" them. These characteristics were first expressed internationally in Mexico, and Hart shows that the Mexican experience was and continues to be a prototype for U.S. expansion around the world. His work demonstrates the often inconspicuous yet profoundly damaging impact of American investment in the underdeveloped countries of Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Empire and Revolution will be the definitive book on U.S.-Mexico relations and their local and global ramifications. 606 $aAmericans$zMexico$xHistory 606 $aInvestments, American$zMexico$xHistory 606 $aNationalism$zMexico$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zMexico 607 $aMexico$xRelations$zUnited States 615 0$aAmericans$xHistory. 615 0$aInvestments, American$xHistory. 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory. 676 $a972/.00413 700 $aHart$b John M$g(John Mason),$f1935- $0127269 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911108677603321 996 $aEmpire and revolution$92314763 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03572nam 2200685 a 450 001 9911091440803321 005 20251117062737.0 010 $a9786612759444 010 $a9781282759442 010 $a1282759442 010 $a9780520932524 010 $a0520932528 024 7 $a10.1525/9780520932524 035 $a(CKB)1000000000766280 035 $a(EBL)470801 035 $a(OCoLC)609849855 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000362695 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11248622 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000362695 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10380319 035 $a(PQKB)10835703 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC470801 035 $a(OCoLC)777474266 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse30625 035 $a(DE-B1597)519659 035 $a(OCoLC)1010985650 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780520932524 035 $a(Perlego)550877 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000766280 100 $a20070607d2008 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aLula of Brazil $ethe story so far /$fRichard Bourne 210 $aBerkeley $cUniversity of California Press$d2008 215 $a1 online resource (309 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9780520261556 311 08$a0520261550 311 08$a9780520246638 311 08$a0520246632 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter --$tCONTENTS --$tILLUSTRATIONS --$tPREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS --$t1.

This compelling work is the first major English-language biography of the metalworker who became president of Latin America's largest and most powerful country. In a clearly written, vividly detailed narrative, Richard Bourne describes Lula's childhood hardships in an impoverished family, his days as a revered trade unionist, and the strike movement that brought down Brazil's military dictatorship. The book chronicles Lula's campaigns for the presidency, his first term in office beginning in 2002, a major corruption scandal, and his reelection in 2006. Throughout, Lula of Brazil connects this charismatic leader's life to larger issues, such as the difficulty of maintaining a progressive policy in an era of globalization. Brazil's contemporary history, parallels with other developing countries and other world leaders, the conservatism of Brazilian society, and other themes provide a rich backdrop for assessing the struggles, achievements, and failures of this major figure on both the Brazilian and the world stage. 606 $aPresidents$zBrazil$vBiography 607 $aBrazil$xPolitics and government$y2003- 607 $aBrazil$xPolitics and government$y1985-2002 615 0$aPresidents 676 $a981.06092 676 $aB 700 $aBourne$b Richard$f1940-$01086927 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911091440803321 996 $aLula of Brazil$94714101 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04979nam 22006615 450 001 9910299948203321 005 20260630163759.0 010 $a3-319-56393-9 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-56393-0 035 $a(CKB)4100000002891981 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-56393-0 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6314903 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5592076 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL5592076 035 $a(OCoLC)1029062011 035 $z(PPN)258850027 035 $a(PPN)225550962 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000002891981 100 $a20180301d2018 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aModel-Reference Adaptive Control $eA Primer /$fby Nhan T.

It is intended for students beginning masters or doctoral courses, and control practitioners wishing to get up to speed in the subject expeditiously. Readers are taught a wide variety of adaptive control techniques starting with simple methods and extending step-by-step to more complex ones. Stability proofs are provided for all adaptive control techniques without obfuscating reader understanding with excessive mathematics. The book begins with standard model-reference adaptive control (MRAC) for first-order, second-order, and multi-input, multi-output systems. Treatment of least-squares parameter estimation and its extension to MRAC follow, helping readers to gain a different perspective on MRAC. Function approximation with orthogonal polynomials and neural networks, and MRAC using neural networks are also covered. Robustness issues connected with MRAC are discussed, helping the student to appreciate potential pitfalls of the technique. This appreciation is encouraged by drawing parallels between various aspects of robustness and linear time-invariant systems wherever relevant. Following on from the robustness problems is material covering robust adaptive control including standard methods and detailed exposition of recent advances, in particular, the author?s work on optimal control modification. Interesting properties of the new method are illustrated in the design of adaptive systems to meet stability margins. This method has been successfully flight-tested on research aircraft, one of various flight-control applications detailed towards the end of the book along with a hybrid adaptive flight control architecture that combines direct MRAC with least-squares indirect adaptive control. In addition to the applications, understanding is encouraged by the use of end-of-chapter exercises and associated MATLAB® files; an electronic solutions manual for instructors can be downloaded from the book's page on www.springer.com. Readers will need no more than the standard mathematics for basic control theory such as differential equations and matrix algebra; the book covers the foundations of MRAC and the necessary mathematical preliminaries. 410 0$aAdvanced Textbooks in Control and Signal Processing,$x1439-2232 606 $aAutomatic control 606 $aAerospace engineering 606 $aAstronautics 606 $aSystem theory 606 $aControl and Systems Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T19010 606 $aAerospace Technology and Astronautics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T17050 606 $aSystems Theory, Control$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13070 615 0$aAutomatic control. 615 0$aAerospace engineering. 615 0$aAstronautics. 615 0$aSystem theory. 615 14$aControl and Systems Theory. 615 24$aAerospace Technology and Astronautics. 615 24$aSystems Theory, Control. 676 $a629.8 700 $aNguyen$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01747788 701 $a Nhan T.$02011714 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299948203321 996 $aModel-Reference Adaptive Control$94801664 997 $aUNINA
