Sinopse

"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.

No Country for Old Age -...

Mischa Honeck

Since the birth of their nation, Americans have acted on the belief that theirs was a land of youth, a place destined to offer a fresh start to an aging world. No Country for Old Age tells this story from the founding period to our present moment, but not without exposing its darker side: rejuvenation has often bred grand expectations that end in division and despair. 
 
 
 
Mischa Honeck reveals how Americans of diverse backgrounds have sought not only to feel and look younger but also to breathe new life into their communities. Whether marching under the banners of science, public health, sexual liberation, physical fitness, nation-building, or world peace, these youth seekers have tended to paint their ventures in utopian colors. However, from the founders to today's Silicon Valley elites, anti-aging ventures have repeatedly magnified social inequalities, often projecting visions of society that have been unmistakably classist, racist, misogynist, and ageist. Today we are experiencing rejuvenation's Janus-faced legacy: As transhumanists rhapsodize about cyber-enhancing human bodies, ghastly pandemics, old-age poverty, and shrinking life expectancies are poised to become the new normal for many twenty-first-century Americans.
