DescriptionIn this revised and updated edition of his best-selling classic, Willard Bascom describes how waves and beaches behave under all kinds of conditions. He explains why ships sink, how "rogue" waves - inexplicable, monstrous waves off South Africa - can split giant tankers in two, how surfers can ride waves with more dexterity and skill than it takes to climb New York's World Trade Center (ouch), and how we can harness energy from the ocean.On View
