From the reviews: "This work, the first volume in the ‘Green Energy and Technology’ series, edited by Cruz (industry), gives the reader a snapshot of the latest attempts. … The book includes many illustrations, and references follow each chapter. This is a valuable, well-researched look at a fascinating technology. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (J. C. Comer, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (11), August, 2008) "This book provides an important overview of the past, present and future of wave energy technology at a key moment in its development into a viable and economically important industry. … It will provide researchers with a comprehensive understanding of the key issues in wave energy exploitation … but will be of particular interest to researchers and academics with a new interest in the field. … I would readily recommend this text to colleagues and students … ." (Edward H. Owens, International Journal of Ambient Energy, Vol. 29 (4), October, 2008)
