I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! An absolute beach lover, I have always laid out on the sand, watching the waves and wondering exactly how they worked. And how the surfers knew what were going to be good surfing waves. And why some of the beaches were sandy, rocky, yellow, white, or even black. Thanks to this easily understood, easily read, short little book, it's opened my eyes up to what's actually happening. The author has a way of explaining the facts in language everyone can understand. Not at all stuffy or overly wordy. It's a book you can read in pieces, a chapter or two at a time. Or take it with you on your next beach vacation and read it as you watch the wave action. It also explains rip currents, which it would be very advisable for anyone who swims in the ocean to understand. Just a great little, fun book!… (más)
