THE PERFECT VISIT: A NOVEL The Perfect Visit tells the story of two bibliophiles who go back in time to rescue lost books and manuscripts. Vanessa Horwood decides on Regency England; Ned Marston goes to Shakespeare’s. But Vanessa wants to rewrite history. And Ned wants to meet the Bard himself. The novel takes its title from Jane Austen’s Emma: “it was a delightful visit – perfect, in being much too short.” Vanessa and Ned both plan such perfect visits. And both reach their destinations. Then things go wrong and their sojourns become longer and more dangerous than either had ever imagined. Vanessa falls foul of the law, transported from Jane Austen’s genteel world to the dark underbelly of a Regency prison. 1607 London shows an equally black side to Ned when he antagonises one of Shakespeare’s rivals, escaping with his life only to find that an accident of time takes him only halfway home. Advance praise for The Perfect Visit: “Stuart Bennett’s remarkable visit to Regency England is compulsive reading, a treasure house of observation, perceptiveness and detail. Admirers of Jane Austen’s novels will feel that they have truly come home.” – Stephen Orgel, General Editor, The Pelican Shakespeare.

Following his book on the origin of control engineering (1800-1930 (see separate entry), the author now traces development through the critical period 1930-1955, widely identified as the period of 'classical' control theory. In the 1930s basic automatic control devices were developed and used in process industries, as were servos for the control of aircraft and ships and amplifiers for the telephone system and early computers etc. During the war many disparate ideas were brought together for the development of aircraft tracking and response systems -- leading to classical control theory which dominated the field through the 1950s. The foundations were also being laid for the introduction of what we now term 'modern' control theory.Also available:A History of Control Engineering 1800-1930 - ISBN 0863410472Advances in Unmanned Marine Vehicles - ISBN 0863414508The Institution of Engineering and Technology is one of the world's leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community.

In the twenty-five years between 1930 and 1955 crucial changes in our understanding of feedback control systems occurred. The history of these developments is traced in this book. Feedback control devices were used for general industrial control, in process control, in aircraft and ships, in the telephone system and in analogue computing systems. The significant developments that occurred during the 1930s in several of these areas are analysed in detail. During the Second World War the ideas and techniques that had been developed in disparate areas were brought together to form what we now know as the classical frequency response methods of analysis and design. Work on methods for dealing with non-linear systems, sampled-data systems and stochastic systems began. The immediate post-war years saw the consolidation and dissemination of the classical methods and the addition of the root locus method for analysis and design. The final chapters cover the beginnings of so-called modern control with the introduction of state-space methods of analysis and design. As well as being of interest to engineers the book is also relevant to historians concerned with social, economic and labour history.

Jane Austen had at least a taste of London high life. In 1813 a barouche drove her around town in what she called “solitary elegance.” Two years later, after a tour of his palatial Carlton House, she was invited to dedicate her last lifetime novel, Emma, to the Prince Regent. What if she had moved in such circles earlier? What if she had fallen in love? What if her banker brother, Henry Austen, had been caught in a web of corruption that did more than destroy his own enterprises? Lord Moira’s Echo is both a love story and a tale of dark intrigue. It draws on unpublished archives to introduce an historical character who might have met Jane Austen during the very years when almost nothing is known about her. The story is told from two perspectives, Lord Moira’s own, and that of a young Canadian musician, Vanessa Horwood, who was the protagonist of Stuart Bennett’s previous novel, The Perfect Visit.

Stuart Bennett's landmark study is the first illustrated guide to a complex and controversial subject. In 1930, in The Evolution of Publishers' Binding Styles, Michael Sadleir declared that "the bookseller-publisher of the decades from 1730 to 1770 issued his books either in loose quires, or stitched, or at most in a plain paper wrapper." This view is still generally accepted. Bennett, however, presents new documentary and visual evidence that books were predominantly sold ready-bound in sheep, calf, and goat as well as boards and wrappers. Over two hundred color illustrations show what these bindings looked like, and how their styles evolved.
