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

very interesting in places and with science that was almost simple enough for me to follow. narration was very good....xcept for the toe-curling foreign accent that was given to all non-anglophones.

not bad

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

Good story, accents offputting

Fascinating book full of interesting detail. The first chapter isn’t a great start but it gets much better afterwards. Chris F should have persisted for longer, or skipped forwards…

Stick with it
