Adults need playgrounds. In 1907, the Canadian government
designated a vast section of the Rocky Mountains as Jasper Forest
Park. Tourists now play where Native peoples once lived, fur
traders toiled, and Metis families homesteaded. In Culturing
Wilderness in Jasper National Park, I.S. MacLaren and eight other
writers unearth the largely unrecorded past of the upper Athabasca
River watershed, and bring to light two centuries' worth of human
history, tracing the evolution of trading routes into the Rockies'
largest park. Serious history enthusiasts and those with an
interest in Canada's national parks will find a sense of connection
in this long overdue study of Jasper.
True Digital Control: Statistical Modelling and Non Minimal State
Space Designdevelops a true digital control design philosophy that
encompasses data based model identification, through to control
algorithm design, robustness evaluation and implementation. With a
heritage from both classical and modern control system synthesis,
this book is supported by detailed practical examples based on the
authors research into environmental, mechatronic and robotic
systems. Treatment of both statistical modelling and control design
under one cover is unusual and highlights the important connections
between these disciplines. Starting from the ubiquitous
proportional integral controller, and with essential concepts such
as pole assignment introduced using straightforward algebra and
block diagrams, this book addresses the needs of those students,
researchers and engineers, who would like to advance their
knowledge of control theory and practice into the state space
domain; and academics who are interested to learn more about non
minimal state variable feedback control systems. Such non minimal
state feedback is utilised as a unifying framework for generalised
digital control system design. This approach provides a gentle
learning curve, from which potentially difficult topics, such as
optimal, stochastic and multivariable control, can be introduced
and assimilated in an interesting and straightforward manner. Key
features: * Covers both system identification and control system
design in a unified manner * Includes practical design case studies
and simulation examples * Considers recent research into time
variable and state dependent parameter modelling and control,
essential elements of adaptive and nonlinear control system design,
and the delta operator (the discrete time equivalent of the
differential operator) systems * Accompanied by a website hosting
MATLAB examples True Digital Control: Statistical Modelling and Non
Minimal State Space Design is a comprehensive and practical guide
for students and professionals who wish to further their knowledge
in the areas of modern control and system identification.

When Canada created a Dominion Parks Branch in 1911, it became the
first country in the world to establish an agency devoted to
managing its national parks. Over the past century this agency, now
Parks Canada, has been at the centre of important debates about the
place of nature in Canadian nationhood and relationships between
Canada's diverse ecosystems and its communities. Today, Parks
Canada manages over forty parks and reserves totalling over 200,000
square kilometres and featuring a dazzling variety of landscapes,
and is recognized as a global leader in the environmental
challenges of protected places. Its history is a rich repository of
experience, of lessons learned-critical for making informed
decisions about how to sustain the environmental and social health
of our national parks.
