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. White combines lyrical prose, adventure travel, and scientific inquiry—visiting Inuit tide foraging in the Arctic, racing a tidal bore in China, exploring Mont Saint-Michel, investigating tidal power in Chile and Scotland, and examining sea-level rise in Panama and Venice. Photographs, scientific figures, line drawings, and color photos illustrate this engaging tour of the tides.
