Tides: A Scientific History
Cartwright, David Edgar (Southampton Oceanography Centre)
This book, first published in 1998, provides a history of the study of tides over two millennia, from the primitive ideas of the Ancient Greeks to present sophisticated space-age techniques. It will appeal to all those interested in how scientific ideas develop, but principally those working in oceanography, hydrography, geophysics, geodesy, astronomy and navigation.
