''The Wavewatcher's Companion'' is a 2010 science book by Gavin Pretor-Pinney. The book was the 2011 winner of the Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books. == Theme == The book is a wide-ranging discussion on waves in all their forms and how waves are such an intimate part of our lives. The book's topics include: * waves that exist within our bodies; * the waves that give rise to music and colour; * the waves that drive the information age; * and the waves of nature, of the earth, sea and air. As Jennifer Ouellette of the Wall Street Journal describes, Pretor-Pinney 'employs a chatty, conversational tone, with clear technical explanations enlivened by real-world examples, whimsical asides, personal anecdotes and inventive analogies' to explain his subject.〔http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703720504575377123375671294.html, Jennifer Ouellette, The Wall Street Journal, 23 July 2010.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Wavewatcher's Companion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
