The Wave. It's the New Pink.

Thanks to Miss Susan Casey's new novel, "The Wave: In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks and Giants of the Ocean," waves, HUGE waves, in fact, are all the rage.  I'm pretty sure every night that I turn the television on, Casey is appearing on some different nighttime program to talk about her book and experiences with massive waves. 

Casey's book took her around the world to experience montrous waves like the rougue waves off the south coast of Afirca, storm-born giants in Hawaii, and the biggest wave ever recorded that blasted Alaska in 1958.  Casey travels with people who "enjoy" surfing and playing in these waves as well as interviewing scientists that worry that global warming is going to steadily bring us bigger and badder waves. 

If you did this blog from class on rogue waves and found them especially intriguing, try picking up a copy of this action-packed novel at your nearest bookstore! Caset should really pay me for this...
