A review by meeralee
The Wave Watcher's Companion: From Ocean Waves to Light Waves via Shock Waves, Stadium Waves, and All the Rest of Life's Undulations by Gavin Pretor-Pinney

2.0

Beautiful in parts, and satisfying in parts, and entirely too factoidy as a whole. This disappointed me in a way that reminded me of how I felt about Bonk. Both books do their fascinating topics no favors by seeming to think that jokiness and small bites are required to hold people's interest.
