Book excerpt: Psychologist Estelle Caylie’s life is getting complicated. Unfortunately, it didn’t even start out well. Estelle remembers very little of her troubled childhood, a childhood she survived through her voracious reading. Then with the untimely death of her brother under suspicious circumstances, Estelle goes about finding her estranged sister to unite the family for the funeral. Estelle’s childhood memories begin to return. Vague memories that are just sounds and smells and body sensations. Nothing she can put together. They come, wave after wave of them, ever more intense, pulling her under. Yet another family tragedy strengthens the riptide. Will the love that surrounds Estelle be enough? Will it get Estelle back on her feet, or will she be pulled under by the powerful tragedy and trauma that she’s experienced?

Download or read book Tides written by Jonathan White and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-16 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Tides: The Science and Spirit of the Ocean, writer, sailor, and surfer Jonathan White takes readers across the globe to discover the science and spirit of ocean tides. In the Arctic, White shimmies under the ice with an Inuit elder to hunt for mussels in the dark cavities left behind at low tide; in China, he races the Silver Dragon, a twenty-five-foot tidal bore that crashes eighty miles up the Qiantang River; in France, he interviews the monks that live in the tide-wrapped monastery of Mont Saint-Michel; in Chile and Scotland, he investigates the growth of tidal power generation; and in Panama and Venice, he delves into how the threat of sea level rise is changing human culture—the very old and very new. Tides combines lyrical prose, colorful adventure travel, and provocative scientific inquiry into the elemental, mysterious paradox that keeps our planet’s waters in constant motion. Photographs, scientific figures, line drawings, and sixteen color photos dramatically illustrate this engaging, expert tour of the tides.
Download or read book Tides and the Ocean written by William Thomson and published by Black Dog & Leventhal. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surfers, sailors, and anyone who loves the ocean will enjoy this visual exploration of the world's seas along its shores, including rip tides, swells, waves, and tsunamis. Tide is the vertical motion of water, something so subtle it is impossible to see with the naked eye. Inspired by his travels around the world's coastline in a camper van with his young family, William Thomson captures the cycles of the sea's movement, and intersperses his adventures surfing the waves and charting the tides. Throughout Tides and the Ocean are his graphic renderings of unusual tidal maps, as well as other forms of water movement, including rip, rapids, swell, stream, tide, wave, whirlpool, and tsunami. Tides and the Ocean explains how the tides surge when the moon and sun align with the earth; how ocean streams alternate direction every six hours (which is invaluable information for kayakers, paddle boarders, and fishermen); why skyscraper-sized tsunamis occur frequently in an Alaskan Bay; and the most deadly beach orientation for rip currents. Also emphasized throughout is the importance of keeping the world's oceans healthy and full of life. Published in time for beach travel, this large-format hardcover is ideal for anyone who knows and loves the sea, and who wants to understand, discover, surf, or sail it better.

Download or read book Waiting for High Tide written by Nikki McClure and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For one young boy, it’s a perfect summer day to spend at the beach with his family. He scours the high tide line for treasures, listens to the swizzling sound of barnacles, and practices walking the plank. But mostly he waits for high tide. Then he’ll be able to swim and dive off the log raft his family is building. While he waits, sea birds and other creatures mirror the family’s behaviors: building and hunting, wading and eating. At long last the tide arrives, and human and animal alike savor the water. Another beautiful ode to life lived in harmony with nature, and by the labor of one’s own hands, from an artist of great warmth and clarity.
Download or read book The Incoming Tide written by Petra White and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking - joyous and sly - is the mark of these poems by Petra White. They are odes, elegies, lyric sequences and compact near-sonnets - classical forms of a strong verbal music: a chiming among consonants and syllables, a flexing of line on line, playing into the mind's play, making poetry's invitation to be uttered. Petra White invests them with free-verse vigour, while confidently drawing in some of pentameter's gifts of cadence for phrasing. She leans to themes of growing up, yet autobiography is barely the point. 'Grave' gazes as at a mirror image of a cult childhood. 'Highway', written recently, thinks back into a hippie journey at twenty: 'I' sits very lightly - just visible - in these poems, and in the book. 'Southbank', about office work, is satire, and affection. Her concern is quite general: to say something about our time and place, and the surprise of its opening out to worlds of otherness. The Incoming Tide was shortlisted for the 2007 Judith Wright Calanthe Prize in the Queensland Premier's Literary Awards. It received 'Honourable Mention' in 'The Age' Poetry Book of the Year 2007.
Download or read book The Infinite Tides written by Christian Kiefer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-06-20 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in depleted, post-recession suburbia, with its endlessly interlocking cul-de-sacs, mega-parking lots and big box stores, The Infinite Tides tells the story of star astronaut Keith Corcoran's return to earth. Keith comes home from a lengthy mission aboard the International Space Station to find his wife and daughter gone, and a house completely empty of furniture, as if Odysseus had returned to Ithaca to find that everyone he knew had forgotten about him and moved on. Keith is a mathematical and engineering genius, but he is ill equipped to understand what has happened to him, and how he has arrived at the center of such vacancy. Then, he forges an unlikely friendship with a neighboring Ukrainian immigrant, and slowly begins to reconnect with the world around him. As the two men share their vastly different personal and professional experiences, they paint an indelible and nuanced portrait of modern American life. The result is a deeply moving, tragicomic and ultimately redemptive story of love, loss and resilience, and of two lives lived under the weight of gravity.
Download or read book The Outer Limits of European Union Law written by Catherine Barnard and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-05 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A commonly expressed view is that the citizens and the Member States are destined to be overcome by the European Union. There is a sense that the Union of today is not what was intended to be created or acceded to by the Member States or its citizens. The Outer Limits of European Union Law brings together a diverse group of legal scholars to consider aspects of EU substantive, constitutional and procedural law in a manner highlighting the many senses in which the European Union is or can be limited and so demonstrating that the fear of being overcome is largely a false fear. By exploring the mechanisms and devices used to limit the European Union, the contributors also reveal not only the strengths of the various limits, but also and more crucially the weakness of the limits , thereby demonstrating that the prospect of being overcome may be a genuine risk to be guarded against. By considering general themes (eg legitimacy) and core subject areas (eg policing, free movement of goods, remedies) the book reveals the various techniques used by the Court of Justice, Community institutions and Member States to define and modify the outer limits of the European Union and European Union Law.

Download or read book Time and Tide in Acadia Seasons on Mount Desert Island written by Christopher Camuto and published by The Countryman Press. This book was released on 2011-10-24 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Camuto delivers insights on Mount Desert Island, a place of stunning beauty and natural wonders. Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park have been described as the climax of the coast of Maine. Millions are drawn every year to the stunning beauty of this rocky landscape of spruce-fir forest and granite islands. Some, like nature writer Christopher Camuto, never stop coming back. In Time and Tide in Acadia the author draws on years of walking Mount Desert’s summits and shorelines, canoeing its marshes, kayaking its tidal waters, and visiting its outer islands. To this task Camuto brings an appetite for observing wildlife and landscape with considerable originality, a regard for history and indigenous perceptions of nature, a keen interest in exploring the psychological and philosophical appeal of nature, and a writer’s love of language. As in his previous, highly praised books, Camuto fulfills his promise to give the reader innumerable vantages on the nature of a remarkable place that it takes time to get to know.
