Book Description

A riveting and rollicking tour-de-force about the terrifying power of nature's most deadly phenomena — colossal waves — and the scientists and super surfers who are obsessed with them. The New York Times bestselling author of The Devil's Teeth probes the dramatic convergence of baffling gargantuan waves that pummel oil rigs and sink massive ships, the extreme surfers willing to stare down death in order to ride them, and the marine scientists trying to unlock the physics of these waves, the climate changes that are provoking them, and what chaos they might wreak. Susan Casey explores the phenomenon of monster waves and how they have become an obsession for extreme surfers like Laird Hamilton — who serves as the author's guide as she takes the reader into the intense, white-knuckle world of 100-foot waves.

Book Description

A group of surfers ride waves at their local beaches and find cosmological explanations in elements of their sport. Over about twenty years as the wave riding is cosmologically described, they show surfing instincts and practices. Doctor Charlton, is a member of their coterie, and he comments along the way. He and another doctor, Doctor Luther, who also rides waves, therapeutically treat members of the group of surfers. But it is mostly Stoney, who is the more serious case. Their wave riding continues. This book might be considered one of those one reads and puts on the shelf. Some parts are cosmological.
