Description

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.
