From the reviews: "The book presents the up-to-date state of the art in the field of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), especially the connectivity and coverage issues. ... The book is well written, the terms are introduced in the proper order. The discussion is carried on starting with simple environments and then extended to more complex ones. All the material is presented in a clear manner." (Jozef Wozniak, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1187, 2010)
