Review
' ... a major contribution to the history of the astronomical and geophysical sciences ... [Cartwright's] description of the observations and mathematical advances that make up the history of the science of tides is clear, rigorous and enjoyable ... [the] sequence of chapters takes on the rhythm of the history ... a masterpiece.' Nature
' ... a synopsis of developments in the theory, observation and prediction of the tides, flavoured with illustrations from the pages of historical scientific papers, photographs and portraits. ... [Cartwright] writes with informed scientific judgement, authority and quiet enthusiasm.' The Times Literary Supplement
'David Cartwright has written a wonderful book that combines history and science with scholarship ... this is an authoritative work ... quite an achievement.' Astrophysics and Geophysics
' ... should appeal to a broad range of readers curious about the evolution of this science.' Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
'David Cartwright has written a wonderful book that combines history and science with scholarship ... this is an authoritative work and a rattling good read, quite an achievement.' David Gubbins, Astrophysics and Geophysics
'Cartwright has identified a long-standing need for a comprehensive history of tidal research and he has filled that need admirably. He offers us an in-depth history that covers the entire subject from antiquity to modern times ... Cartwright has written a much-needed academic history of tidal science that will serve historians as an important reference work and starting point for future detailed investigations into individual aspects of tidal research.' Terry Mahoney, The Observatory
