Beschreibung

"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.

    Ever wished there was a book about some of the weirdest and most disturbing stories in the Bible that was also hilarious to read? You've found it. It turns out, there's a lot of strange stuff in the Bible, and this book takes a tongue-in-cheek look at all of it. 
    Approximately 80 percent of Americans admit they haven't read the Bible. If they did, they'd be pleasantly surprised by its impressive quantity of sex and poop jokes. 
    David danced naked. Noah was basically a moonshining hillbilly. Ezekiel baked poop bread. Herod was eaten by worms. Jesus cursed a fig tree, just to prove he could. Mark went streaking. Hosea married a prostitute. Lot was date-raped by his own daughters. This unique book:Combines humor and education to give better insight into some of the strangest parts of the BibleOrganized by topic (poop, genitalia, weird violence, prostitution, gratuitous nudity, seemingly pointless miracles, and other fun stuff)Is a thoroughly researched (really!), reverent, and insightful look at the best-selling book in historyMakes a perfect gift for pastors and white elephant parties 
    From Elisha, who loosed homicidal bears on some kids because they called him bald (it's a long story), to the story of Ehud, who gets away with assassinating a tyrannical king because his servants think said king is taking a dump (also a long story), this book examines and casts new light on some of the Bible's stranger moments.

    Two Ruddy Ducks and a Partridge...

    Once described as the worst golfer never to have won a major, Mortimer Merriweather is a complex character with virtually nothing to show for 60 years of golf at the lowest level.
    Decades of abject failure to strike the ball properly undoubtedly fuelled his frustration and led ultimately to him venting his ire on individuals, companies and organisations connected with the game of golf in this remarkable series of 100 letters.
    The result is this hilarious book of his bizarre, insulting, unsettling and plain mad golfing ideas, all sent to famous hapless recipients, illustrated with occasional cartoons. 
    'Clive Agran is golf's funniest writer.' – John Hopkins, The Times

It celebrates the generosity of spirit found in people around the the country, as well as the history of the iconic lights that brighten their world.
