Book of WavesForm and Beauty of the Ocean
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Waves are an endless source of fascination for everyone, from scientists to surfers. Who, in watching, is not mesmerized by the ongoing cycles of surge and rush, flow and ebb, storm and calm? This book celebrates the ocean wave phenomenon through several modes of interpretation. Most prominent is a gallery of over 100 color photographs by such renowned photographers as Woody Woodworth, John Severson and Don King, side by side with images from the archives of NASA. The photographs are illuminated by a text that includes a description of the lifecycle of waves (illustrated with three-dimensional cutaway renderings depicting the interaction of land and ocean); anecdotes from sailors, surfers, canoeists and others; excerpts from literature pertaining to waves; a metaphysical interpretation of waves; and an explanatory photographers' index to the gallery.--From publisher description.
