Part of an exciting new series of small format guides which help you better understand the sea, by William Thomson FRGS. An essential guide to Tides, clearly explained through a seamless blend of simple descriptions and rich infographics. Tides have a profound impact on adventures along the coast, whether you are sailing, swimming, surfing, scuba diving or stand-up paddleboarding. In this book, William de-mystifies their workings through a mixture of straightforward language and vivid illustrations, sharing the concepts of tides for anyone to understand. Inspired by explorations on his catamaran Luna, William has drawn upon a mixture of practical experience and theoretical study to create this Explorer Guide, equipping you with the knowledge to know what to expect where and when. With that know-how you can then make decisions with more confidence, planning adventures to harness the energy of tides and Seas The Power. William is founder of Tide School (www.tide-school.com) and author of Book of Tides who is currently on a long-term sailing voyage with his young family aboard their yellow catamaran, Luna.
