Reviews:

A compendium of papers
This book is a selection of papers that deals with the basic principles of power electronics and drives. The idea was not to give a definitive and unified treatise on the subject. It is instead a collection of papers for the practitioner and the novice to gain some understanding of the basis of the ideas behind drives and power electronics by reading the original papers written by the original researchers. These papers are considered to be definitive in the mind of the editor. If you need a complete guide to the analysis of power electronic circuits and drives, this is not the book. I would recommend Principles of Power Electronics by Kassakian et. al. or Power electronics: Converters, Applications and Design, by Mohan et.al.

This book is more for the graduate student or the researcher who needs to read the original work in order to move along in their research. This is not for the practically minded trouble shooter or the designer.
