Book Description
Wave watchers around the world know that no two waves are the same. Yet each and every wave that rises, peaks, and crashes onto the beach is generated by a much larger force originating thousands of miles away. Surf journalist team Evan Slater and Peter Taras capture the essence of waves and the swells that produce them in this breathtaking collection of wave photography. Slater characterizes four distinct swells from different corners of the globe and traces their journeys throughout the year from storm to seashore. His reflective, informative essays amplify these powerful images of hundreds of waves frozen in time, beautiful, simple, universal, yet wholly unique—and the best thing to watch on the planet.

Book Description
Excerpt from Report on Waves: Made to the Meetings of the British Association in 1842-43 The first of these subjects of inquiry is stated to have been to determine the varieties, phenomena and laws of waves, and the conditions which affect their genesis and propagation. It is this branch of the duty of the Committee which forms the subject of the present report. Ever since the date of that report, it has happened that the author of this has been so fully pre-occupied by inevitable duty, that it was not in his power to indulge much in the pleasures of scientific inquiry; and as the active part of the investigation necessarily devolved upon him, it was not practicable to continue the series of researches on the ample and systematic scale originally designed, so soon as he had anticipated, so that the former report has necessarily been left in a fragmentary state till now.
