Synopsis
The Bestselling Classic Updated for Surfers, Sailors, Oceanographers, Climate Activists, and Those Who Love the Sea First published in 1963 and updated in 1979, this classic was an essential handbook for anyone who studies, surfs, protects, or is fascinated by the ocean. The original author, Willard Bascom, was a master of the subject and included a wealth of information, based on theory and statistics, but also anecdotal observation and personal experience. It brought to the general public understanding of the awesome and complex power of the waves. This revision from Kim McCoy adds recent facts and anecdotes to update the book’s relevance in the time of climate change. One of the most significant effects of global warming will be sea-level rise. What will this mean to waves and beaches, and what effects are we already seeing? New text and photos cover events such as the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004, Hurricane Katrina flooding of 2005, and the 2011 earthquake and resulting devastation in Fukishima. As well as students, surfers, and the general public, this updated edition of a beloved classic is an essential handbook for climate scientists and ocean activists, providing clear explanations and detailed resources for the constant battle to preserve the shore. My Review I loved every minute of this book. It was brilliant and you can learn so much from reading it. It will also be an amazing resource if you are studying geography, Geology and environmental sciences. As it is packed full of very useful information and plenty of equations that are fully explained and easy to understand. This book brought me back to my A level and degree geography days. This will also make a fantastic read for those coastal engineers and those who are fascinated by the impact of waves on coastal morphology. Also those who want to understand wave dynamics and the book covers so much. I thought it was so well researched and so well explained and easy to understand. I loved the way the book was layed out and including so many great pictures, figures and diagrams. The cover was also perfect. I look forward to reading more from this author and publishers. So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for producing such an amazing informative book.
