Tides

Tides takes readers on a journey to discover the science and wonder of the world's largest, fastest, most dangerous and breathtaking tides. Writer, sailor, and conservationist Jonathan White hunts for arctic mussels at low tide, races a twenty-five-foot tidal bore, investigates tidal power generation, and examines the threats of sea level rise. Tides combines lyrical prose with travel adventure and cultural history with scientific inquiry to provide a deep understanding of the forces that keep the earth's waters in constant motion.
