In 'Tides: The Science and Spirit of the Ocean', writer, sailor, and surfer Jonathan White takes readers across the globe to discover the science and spirit of ocean tides. The book combines lyrical prose, colourful adventure travel, and provocative scientific inquiry into the elemental, mysterious paradox that keeps our planet's waters in constant motion. Photographs, scientific figures, line drawings, and sixteen colour photos dramatically illustrate this engaging, expert tour of the tides.
