## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The next best thing to being there.
  

*by J***9 on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 February 2021*

I enjoyed reading this book, it’s not huge, but there is enough to satisfy curiosity as it is packed with so much information. What I really liked is: it doesn’t wander off into obscure jargon, it stays focused and it never patronises; it keeps things simple but never boring. I will certainly reread it, because when you can’t be with the sea, it’s the next best thing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fascinating, well-written book
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 August 2022*

Got this wanting to understand a bit more about the coastal waters around the UK. I was positively surprised by the aesthetic and writing style of the book which made the experience all the more pleasant.Different coastal characteristics are broken down in each chapter, providing a pragmatic explanation behind the science of that factor, for example Chapter 1 describes tides around the coast. The author will then go on to describe his experience whilst visiting the location and share tips and pointers for a safe experience. I really liked the visual depictions supporting each chapter and the iconic framework to aid the reader in visualising the explanation. So, a non-fiction book that actually imparts information in a sort of fiction kind of way!I especially liked the bore wave section, so much so that it has renewed my interest in conducting some sea kayaking in the near future!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Brilliant and beautiful
  

*by P***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 October 2016*

I have lived by the sea for most of my adult life and this book simply and beautifully explains things I have always wondered; what makes waves happen, how to spot a rip current and why tidal bores flow up some rivers. It's a practical book, beautifully explained with lots of illustrations on every page. Highly recommended.
