Cornish wrote on wave forms, political (Imperial and white imperialist) geography, and aesthetic geography, and had the private means to pursue his interests, shared by his first wife Ellen (an engineer and artist). He authored a second volume on waves — Waves of Sand and Snow and the Eddies Which Make Them (1914), available via the Internet Archive.
