Description
The Book of Tides A Journey Through the Coastal Waters of Our Island by William Thomson is an idiosyncratic guide to Britain's rivers, seas and shores. This beautifully illustrated book explores how the waters surrounding us affect our daily lives, shaping our actions and landscape over millennia. Thomson's narrative combines a lyrical, passionate tone with stunning graphics that bring to life the main forms of water affecting Britain: Rip, Rapids, Swell, Stream, Tide, Wave, Whirlpool, Tsunami. His journey along Britain's coastline in a panel van with his young family inspired this book, which aims to help readers understand and appreciate the power of the sea. For those who feel drawn to the sea and its rhythms, The Book of Tides offers a unique perspective on the cycles of the ocean.
