Tides: The Science and Spirit of the Ocean by Jonathan White is a work of literary nonfiction that combines natural history, oceanography, travel writing, and cultural reflection. White, a sailor, surfer, and marine conservationist, uses a personal encounter with tidal danger as the starting point for a broad inquiry into one of the most familiar but least understood forces on Earth. The book follows his travels to coasts, rivers, bays, monasteries, research centers, and tidal energy sites across several continents. Its purpose is not only to explain why tides rise and fall, but also to show how tidal motion has shaped navigation, coastal settlement, ecological adaptation, scientific thought, myth, and renewable energy debates. White presents tides as a physical phenomenon governed by gravity, planetary motion, basin shape, and friction, while also treating them as a cultural rhythm that has influenced how humans imagine the ocean, time, risk, and change.
