Synopsis:

Written by two of the pioneers in the field, this book contains a wealth of practical information unavailable anywhere else. The authors give a comprehensive presentation of the field of adaptive control, carefully bending theory and implementation to provide the reader with insight and understanding. Benefiting from the feedback of users who are familiar with the first edition, the material has been reorganized and rewritten, giving a more balanced and teachable presentation of fundamentals and applications.

A good, solid book. I bought this book after designing my first adaptive controller without knowing any formal theory. I learned what I had done and a great deal of other useful information besides.

The book is written in a clear expository manner. While it would make a good textbook for a classroom situation, it is well organized, written and complete enough that with motivation you can learn the subject just from reading the book.
