Tide: The Science and Lore of the Greate

Most of us know about the tide, but should we know more?. Half of the world's population lives in coastal regions lapped by tidal waters. With Aldersey-Williams as our guide to the most feared and celebrated tidal features on the planet, from the original maelstr m in Scandinavia to the world's highest tides in Nova Scotia to the crumbling coast of East Anglia, the importance of the tide, and the way it has shaped - and will continue to shape - our civilization, becomes startlingly clear. Praise for Hugh Aldersey-Williams, author of the bestselling Periodic Tales.
