By Dag Pike
Review by
Carol Waterkeyn

This well-illustrated book brings storms at
sea to life.

Have you ever wondered how storms are created, about the different effects of storms on the sea, or how some vessels have survived terrible conditions while others have not? If so, this is the book for you. Storms and Wild Water demystifies the science and explains what can happen and why.

Dag Pike began his career in the Merchant Navy. He went on to test RNLI lifeboats for buoyancy and structural integrity, heading into the storms that everyone else was trying to avoid. He has spent 60 years on the waves. Nowadays he is a successful boating journalist and author and uniquely placed to give us the benefit of his vast experience of storms.
