5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Overview on Ocean Wave Energy, April 10, 2008
By Anab Akanda "AA" (Ann Arbor, Michigan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book, albeit somewhat outdated, provides an excellent overview on Ocean Wave Energy conversion. The mathematics is quite easy to follow. The patent overview in the appendix is very instructive. Highly recommended as an introductory book on wave energy conversion

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introductory text, February 11, 2008
This book, although quite dated (1982), gives a broad view on wave energy conversion and the basic techniques used. The math is easy to follow and the examples appear to have correct solutions. I enjoyed reading it.
