ABSTRACT ALTHOUGH it is usual, in expounding the elements of wave motion, to refer to water waves as examples, there is probably far less known of the behaviour of real waves on water than


there is of the behaviour of waves of light or sound. The study of both the experimental and theoretical aspect of, for example, ocean waves, or of the generation of waves by wind,


encounters formidable difficulties, and the complexities of tidal problems are well known. From the time of Scott Russell to the present day labours of, among others, Proud-man and Havelock,


the subject of water waves has received substantial contributions from British men of science, and there will probably be many British readers who will welcome Dr. Thorade's book,


which appears as Nos. 13 and 14 of the series “Probleme der Kosmischen Physik”, edited by Profs. Christian Jensen and Arnold Schwassmann. Probleme der Wasserwellen. Dr. H. Thorade. (Probleme


der kosmischen Physik, herausgege-ben von Prof. Dr. Christian Jensen und Prof. Dr. Arnold Schwassmann, Band 13–14.) Pp. viii + 219 + 11 Tafeln. (Hamburg: Henri Grand 1931.) 20 gold marks.
