Ebb and Flow: Tides and Life on Our Once and Future Planet

Ebb and Flow was named one of 2007's "best science books" by Peter Calamai, science editor of the Toronto Star Dec. 30, 2007]. He calls it a "wonderful resource book.... Tom Koppel seems to have visited or read about every place with unusual tides and water currents, yet he wears this scholarship lightly."

Tides have shaped our world. They have carved out shorelines, transformed early life on Earth, and altered the course of human civilization...

Great book Tom!

Hello, (hmmm I wrote a review on this book several months ago and it disappeared ... - mm) Anyways, I think this is an outstanding book, packed with interesting marine lore, anecdotes and loaded with facts. For 12 years I have worked for Blue Energy Canada, a company advancing renewable tidal (current) energy; Tom completed a short profile of our company in this book after a brief interview, and I thoroughly commend his overall efforts here. The book will be valued by sea-faring and couch-surfing mariners, engineers, earth scientists and anyone interested in marine matters. cheers, Michael Maser (Blue Energy Canada)
