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.” (Alessandro Berni, ACM Computing Reviews, December, 2009)
