From Cnut to D-Day: the history & science of the unceasing tide explored for the first time. Half of the world`s population lives in coastal regions lapped by tidal waters. Yet how little most of us know about the tide. Our ability to predict & understand the tide depends on centuries of science, from the observations of Aristotle & the theories of Newton to today`s supercomputer calculations. This story is punctuated here by notable tidal episodes in history, from Caesar`s thwarted invasion of Britain to the catastrophic flooding of Venice, & interwoven with a rich folklore that continues to inspire art & literature today. With Aldersey-Williams as our guide to the most feared & celebrated tidal features on the planet, from the original maelstrom in Scandinavia to the world`s highest tides in Nova Scotia to the crumbling coast of East Anglia, the importance of the tide, & the way it has shaped
- & will continue to shape
- our civilization, becomes startlingly clear.

Tides & currents are predictable, yet few sailors use them to the best of their advantage. Whether you sail a dinghy, a yacht or a board, enormous gains can be made by understanding how the water moves. This book explains clearly how to find out about the predicted water flow, how local effects will modify it, & how to plan your strategy on an Olympic triangle, an inshore course or an offshore race. ...

Nick Bullock is a climber who lives in a small green van, flitting between Llanberis, Wales, & Chamonix in the French Alps. Tides, Nick`s second book, is the much-anticipated follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut Echoes. Now retired from the strain of work as a prison officer, Nick is free to climb. A lot. Tides is a treasury of his antics & adventures with some of the world`s leading climbers, including Steve House, Kenton Cool, Nico Favresse, Andy Houseman & James Mc Haffie. Follow Nick & his partners as they push the limits on some of the world`s most serious routes: The Bells! The Bells! & The Hollow Man on Gogarth`s North Stack Wall; the Slovak Direct on Denali; Guerdon Grooves on Buachaille Etive Mor; & the north faces of Chang Himal & Mount Alberta, among countless others. Nick`s life can be equated to the rhythm of the sea. At high tide, he climbs, he loves it, he is good at it; he laughs & jokes, scares himself, falls, gets back up & climbs some more. Then the tide goes out & he finds himself alone, exposed, all questions & no answers. Self-doubt, grieving for friends or family, fearful, sometimes opinionated, occasionally angry
- his writing more honest & exposed than in any account of a climb. Only when the tide turns is he able to forget once more. Tides is a gripping memoir that captures the very essence of what it means to dedicate one`s life to climbing.
