In Tides: The Science and Spirit of the Ocean, writer, sailor, and surfer Jonathan White takes listeners across the globe to discover the science and spirit of ocean tides.

In the Arctic, White shimmies under the ice with an Inuit elder to hunt for mussels in the dark cavities left behind at low tide; in China, he races the Silver Dragon, a 25-foot tidal bore that crashes 80 miles up the Qiantang River; in France, he interviews the monks that live in the tide-wrapped monastery of Mont Saint-Michel; in Chile and Scotland, he investigates the growth of tidal power generation; and in Panama and Venice, he delves into how the threat of sea level rise is changing human culture - the very old and very new.

Tides combines lyrical prose, colorful adventure travel, and provocative scientific inquiry into the elemental, mysterious paradox that keeps our planet's waters in constant motion.

This is an interesting book that opened me to new areas. It's not at the Bill Bryson level of bringing such topics to life, and the journey is a bit dispersed (perhaps like the tide).

The narration is good although needs some practice on accents (they all seemed same!)

Interesting but...

As a Swimmer, Kayaker fisherman and General Beach Bum working with the tides is central to my life. As a way of understanding them in greater depth this is a brilliant read

Informative and Entertaining

Good science, all the complicated things which contribute to tidal flows around the globe. found it a slow start but got more into it as it went. the dodgy accents can be patronising and borderline unacceptable, luckily they are few and far between. otherwise the narration is good.

science made more interesting by real stories

I kayak and this book has really opened my eyes to the complexity of the rhythms of the tides.
It is done in a very accessible way, with the use of anecdotes and analogies to explain tidal harmonics.
Using example of famous tides or tidal bores around the world, the principles of how they happen is explained very well.

Excellent book for those interested in the oceans

Accents were all nearly identical, slightly irritating. Just a note, perhaps drop accents when reading.

Good story, accents offputting
