The paperback edition of Tides comes with a glowing recommendation
from 91av on its cover. Our reviewer praised the author,
saying “David Cartwright [is] a world authority, and gives a magisterial account
of how understanding has slowly replaced the mysteries of the tides. Detailed,
erudite and clear . . . ” Published by Cambridge University Press, £18.95,
