Karl Astrom is one of the leading experts in the field of control engineering. He has a number of great books, all of which I would recommend. Computer-Controlled Systems is great for anyone looking to bridge the gap between the theory learned in university courses and how it is applied to actual control systems in industry. Virtually all control systems nowadays are run on digital processors and the implications of how this affects the system must be well understood.
