In the Preface of his textbook Ocean Waves and Oscillation Systems: Linear interactions including wave-energy extraction (Cambridge University Press, 2002) Johannes Falnes states i.a.:

"The present book is mainly based on lecture notes from a postgraduate university course on water waves and extraction of energy from ocean waves, which I have taught many times since 1979. For the purposes of this book, I have selected those parts of the subject which have more general interest, rather than those parts of my course which pertain to wave-power conversion in particular. I hope that the book is thus of interest to a much wider readership than just the wave-energy community."
