The wave : in pursuit of the rogues, freaks, and giants of the ocean / Susan Casey. by Casey, Susan, 1962- Thorndike Press, 2011, c2010. Call #: LP 551.463 C338w Subjects Rogue waves.   Surfing.   Ocean waves.   Oceanography ISBN:  9781410434036 (hardcover) 1410434036 (hardcover) Edition:  Large print ed. Description:  551 p. (large print) : ill., maps ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  For centuries, mariners spun tales of rogue waves over one hundred feet high and scientists dismissed them. Then a British research vessel was trapped in a vortex of mammoth waves. As scientists scramble to understand these destructive monsters, others fly around the world in search of them. Susan Casey juxtaposes the exploits of Laird Hamilton and his fellow extreme surfers against scientists' urgent efforts to understand the annihilating power of waves.
