""Thrilling Surf Waves"" presents a comprehensive exploration of big-wave surfing, masterfully combining the raw power of nature with cutting-edge sports science. This multifaceted book reveals how massive waves reaching heights over fifty feet form through complex interactions of ocean physics, wind patterns, and underwater topography, while detailing the incredible human preparation required to ride them safely. Through extensive research including data from wave-monitoring buoys and interviews with professional surfers, the book illuminates how legendary locations like Nazaré and Jaws consistently produce these monster waves. The book's three-part structure progressively builds readers' understanding, beginning with the science of wave mechanics and forecasting, moving through the evolution of specialized equipment and safety gear, and culminating in detailed coverage of the physical and mental conditioning required for big-wave surfing. What sets this work apart is its successful integration of multiple scientific disciplines, from fluid dynamics to sports psychology, making complex concepts accessible to both experienced surfers and curious observers. Drawing from peer-reviewed studies and real-world expertise, the text balances technical information with practical application, offering actionable insights for wave forecasting, equipment selection, and training programs. While maintaining its focus on waves over twenty feet, the book serves as an authoritative resource that bridges the gap between scientific understanding and athletic achievement in one of nature's most challenging environments.

This is the second in a series of five volumes on the lexicon of Proto Oceanic, the ancestor of the Oceanic branch of the Austronesian language family. Each volume deals with a particular domain of culture and/or environment and consists of a collection of essays each of which presents and comments on lexical reconstructions of a particular semantic field within that domain. Volume 2 examines how Proto Oceanic speakers described their geophysical environment. An introductory chapter discusses linguistic and archaeological evidence that locates the Proto Oceanic language community in the Bismarck Archipelago in the late 2nd millennium BC. The next three chapters investigate terms used to denote inland, coastal, reef and open sea environments, and meteorological phenomena. A further chapter examines the lexicon for features of the heavens and navigational techniques associated with the stars. How Proto Oceanic speakers talked about their environment is also described in three further chapters which treat property terms for describing inanimate objects, locational and directional terms, and terms related to the expression of time.

With its massive faces, punishing rocks, and treacherous currents, Maverick's presents a surfing challenge like no other. Author Matt Warshaw has updated his critically acclaimed illustrated history of Maverick's to cover important recent developments, and we've added a fresh new cover to kick this edition off in style. "A fascinating account," to quote Surfer magazine, it takes "a cue from Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm...Warshaw focused on a single event...and expands on it to illuminate an entire culture and its world beyond waves." The event was the death of celebrated surfer Mark Foo, one of those who congregate every winter to test themselves in the dark, foreboding waters. And what unfolds in Maverick's is no less than the story of big-wave surfing, from its ancient Hawaiian origins to modern tow-in riders. It's a book to be enjoyed not only by those who surf deep in the waves, but also by those whose taste for adventure is satisfied deep in the pages of a very good book.

Sedimentary Dynamics Of Windfield Source Basin System written by Zaixing Jiang and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-03-06 with Science categories.
This book introduces the geological concept of the “windfield-source-basin system,” based on integrated modern and ancient sedimentology studies. It identifies wind field as a main sedimentation-controlling factor that combines with provenance and basin dynamics to determine the formation and distribution of depositional systems. Using the unary properties of facies, sedimentary models and the duality properties of source-to-sink approaches, the concept of a “wind-source-basin system” introduces the “sedimentary system trinity”: wind field, provenance and basin properties. “Wind-source-basin systems” provide more plausible genetic interpretations of depositional systems (including both continental and marine facies, and clastic and carbonate systems), as well as more comprehensive and precise predictions of depositional systems (hydrocarbon reservoirs) in unknown regions. Further, the book proposes a series of methods on paleowind field reconstruction, which fill the gaps in paleo-atmospheric field studies in paleoclimatology, and shows that allocating relationships among source-reservoir-cap in petroliferous basins are limited by the “wind-source-basin system”. This trinity system also provides a new perspective on petroleum geology assessment. The book appeals to all those engaged in sedimentology, petroleum geology and climatology studies.
