"[White goes] to some of the wildest corners of the earth, for visceral interactions with the tide...provide[s] storytelling, scientific breakdowns, and myth analysis that will resonate with any reader. [Tides is] deeply researched yet approachable...offers a depth of tidal knowledge I could have never imagined."

"...a wonderful weaving of folk lore and myths, science, and...provides a thorough explanation of how tides have affected cultures throughout time. It also shows how little we know, and what we need to learn."
