Celebrated science writer Hugh Aldersey-Williams whisks the reader along his travels to Nova Scotia, where the tides are the strongest in the world; to arctic Norway, home of the raging tidal whirlpool known as the maelstrom; and to Venice, to explore efforts to defend against the famed acqua alta. Along the way, Aldersey-Williams reveals the tidal truths behind the legends of Scylla and Charybdis, the story of Moses parting the Red Sea, the conquests of Julius Caesar, the Boston Tea Party, and the D-Day landings in Normandy. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Tides. 650 0 Sea in art. 650 0 Sea in literature. 700 1 Perkins, Derek. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11712655?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ rcb_9781681682792_180.jpeg
