Favorite/best book for control systems?

[uoficowboy]

Hi - I took a control systems class in college many years ago and am looking to refresh my knowledge. In that class we used the textbook "Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems". I still have this book. Would this be a good book to use as a refresher or are there better control systems textbooks out there?

Thanks!

To just refresh your memory, it is hard to beat Schaum's outline on feedback and control systems!

Also agree, it is hard to knock a classic like Kuo!

If you have access to matlab or mathcad, you can fool around with the control systems libraries.

Control Systems Engineering By I.J. Nagrath could be good option to refresh your Control Systems knowledge.
Here is the link : Control Systems Engineering - I.J. Nagrath - Google Books

I prefer "Modern control engineering" by Ogata.
