WORLD OF TIDES

William Thomson sets out with his surfboard and tidal compass to encounter the waters of the world, charting his most extraordinary sights and experiences. These include the whirlpools of the Arctic circle, the world's biggest ever surfed wave off Portugal, the strongest whirlpool in Norway and, in Australia, the most dangerous rapids known to man. With the enticing combination of William's passionate text and mapping illustrations, this is a book for anyone who feels the pull of the tides and call of the sea.
