The Wave: in Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks, and Giants of the Ocean

This was a fascinating book and well worth listening to. Although long, I learned a lot and found myself trolling Google for images and movies of rogue waves. I still cannot imagine the 1700-ft wave that smacked Lituya Bay, Alaska in 1958. That's nearly 1/3 of a mile tall. Clearly, hundred-foot waves are not the impossibility scientists once believed, and this is an intriguing peek into the surfers who seek out these monster waves as well as the science (or lack thereof) behind the waves.
