Ruiyun Qi received her B.E. degree in automatic control from University of Science and Technology of China in 2001 and Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from University of Birmingham, U.K. 2007. She has been with College of Automation Engineering, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China since 2008 where she is now a professor. Dr. Qi has done research work in fuzzy modeling and adaptive fuzzy control for over 15 years, and more recently, in adaptive fault-tolerant control with applications to aerospace and spacecraft systems. She has been the principle investigator for several projects of National Natural Science Foundation of China. She is the author of over 40 international journal papers and 60 conference papers. She won Second Prize of Science and Technology Progress Award of Jiangsu Province in 2009 and was selected into Jiangsu Six Talent Peaks Program in 2016.
Gang Tao received his B.S. (EE) degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 1982, M.S. (EE, CpE and APMA) degrees and Ph.D. (EE) degree from University of Southern California during 1984 and 1989. He is a full professor in Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Virginia and a Fellow of IEEE. For more than 30 years, he has worked in various areas of adaptive control theory and applications, with particular interests in adaptive control of systems with multiple inputs and multiple outputs, systems with nonsmooth nonlinearities, and systems with uncertain faults, in stability and robustness of adaptive control systems, and in passivity characterizations of control systems. His publications include the 2003 Wiley textbook Adaptive Control Design and Analysis (by Gang Tao), the 1996 Wiley book Adaptive Control of Systems with Actuator and Sensor Nonlinearities (by Gang Tao and Petar Kokotovic), the 2004 Springer book Adaptive Control of Systems with Actuator Failures (by Gang Tao, Shuhao Chen, Xidong Tang and Suresh M. Joshi), the 2003 Springer book Control of Sandwich Nonlinear Systems (by Avinash Taware and Gang Tao), the 2001 Springer book Adaptive Control of Nonsmooth Dynamic Systems (edited by Gang Tao and Frank Lewis), the 2009 book Advances in Control Systems Theory and Applications (edited by Gang Tao and Jing Sun), the 2015 book Adaptive Control (by Fuyang Chen, Gang Tao and Bin Jiang), and over 450 technical papers and book chapters.. Recently he has been working on adaptive control of systems with uncertain actuator failures and actuator nonlinearities, with structural damage, and with sensor uncertainties and failures, for aircraft, spacecraft, robot and high-speed train control applications.
Bin Jiang received the Ph.D. degree in Automatic Control from Northeastern University, Shenyang, China, in 1995. He had ever been postdoctoral fellow, research fellow, invited professor and visiting professor in Singapore, France, USA and Canada, respectively. Now he is a Chair Professor of Cheung Kong Scholar Program in Ministry of Education and Vice President of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China. He currently serves as Associate Editor or Editorial Board Member for a number of journals such as IEEE Trans. on Control Systems Technology; Int. J. Of Control, Automation and Systems; Nonlinear Analysis: Hybrid Systems, etc. He is a senior member of IEEE, Chair of Control Systems Chapter in IEEE Nanjing Section, a member of IFAC Technical Committee on Fault Detection, Supervision, and Safety of Technical Processes. His research interests include intelligent fault diagnosis and fault tolerant control and their applications to helicopter, satellite and high-speed train.
He has been the principle investigator on several projects of National Natural Science Foundation of China. He is the author of 8 books and over 200 referred international journal papers and conference papers. He won Second Class Prize of National Natural science award of China in 2018.

Read the first book and this 2nd one did not disappoint! Loved every chapter. More please!
Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
