First Sentence:
First, in this book, we will see how many electric motors are used in homes, offices, laboratories, factories, hospitals, and so on.

This is an introductory work explaining the principles, construction, and use of electric motors and their associated drive controls. It starts from basic physics and progresses to discuss state-of-the-art topics such as piezoelectric motors and vector control. It is largely non-mathematical in its approach and provides an uncluttered overview of the subject, easily accessible to beginning students in electrical and electronic engineering as well as engineers and scientists from other disciplines. This authoritative text is fully illustrated with precise, clear diagrams and photographs.

This book is precise and informative, comprehensive and yet very easy to read. Without laboring over theory, it gets right to the heart of all types of electric motors and controls, covering all facets from classic to futuristic. The author fully understands the field and does not obscure the hard-to-understand areas; rather, the author illustrates the operation of each type of motor in a form that YOU WILL LEARN from, even to the point of following current flow through the motor windings so that you will see the causes of motor operation, and the genius of modern motor design. Even if you think you know all there is to know about how electric motors work, this book will fill the gaps in your understanding.
