Description

Offered here is a copy of Waves and Beaches: The Dynamics of the Ocean Surface by Willard Bascom. Softcover. Revised and Updated Softcover Edition. Willard Bascom, Director of the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project and author of Deep Water, Ancient Ships , describes how waves and beaches behave under all kinds of conditions. He explains why ships sink, how "rogue" waves -- inexplicable, monstrous waves of 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 skyscrapers, and how we can harness energy from the ocean. Illustrations by the author and numerous black and white photographs. ISBN 0-385-14844-5. Doubleday Anchor Books 1980. 384 pages. Thank you for your consideration.
