Waves Hardcover – April 14, 2005

I bought this book because I saw it for sale when I was in Hawaii, but didn't want to carry it home with me and risk the chance of it getting banged up in transit. The photos are beautiful. The only thing I don't like about this book is that some of the photos run from one page to the next, which means that there's a big crease down the center of some of the really great photos. It's a great coffee table book, especially for those of us who live far from the ocean and need a reminder of its beauty.

"Waves" caught my eye while I was searching for something unrelated, can't remember what, but when I saw it, I was drawn in, abandoned previous search, and had to have it. I grew up by the water, spent every waking moment in the waves on my little beach back home, and this book instantly made me feel the powerful pull of the ocean from the front cover to the back. Every page is breathtakingly beautiful, it makes me long to paint, to capture the strength and delicacy of water the way these photographs do. Alas, that is not to be, but at least I can look at these amazing pictures and dream. There is text about the dynamics and working of waves, very good, but the pictures blow me away.

Such beautiful wave photos. Mostly of Hawaii.California and a few exotic places. Wish there were a few more of other beaches along the Atlantic coast...only one from the northeast. Still a very beautiful book.

The "surfing grandsons" LOVE this!So glad I found it! It's so hard to send little gifts to teenage boys.Books like this are welcome and a welcome addition.Great transaction with the seller.

I saw this book in a store in Half Moon Bay, CA years ago and purchased one for a gift. I regretted not buying one for myself not too long after that. I was delighted to find it still available. Never tire of looking at beautiful waves all over the world.

I gave this book as a Christmas present, but not before thumbing through it myself. The pictures are totally awesome and very clear. I thought it would make a good coffee-table book, and that's exactly where my brother put it. He also loved the book, and wanted to check it out before opening other Christmas gifts.... I guess it made an impression. :>)
