From the reviews: "This book delivers a useful addition to the already rich body of knowledge on wireless ad hoc networks. ... targets mainly the student community. ... Sections on future research and 'thoughts for practitioners' provided in each chapter make the book an interesting read for those who work in the research community, as well. ... the editor's have tackled the breadth versus depth dilemma in a balanced manner, making this book a useful reference for students, instructors, and practitioners alike."
