Home Waters by David Bowers
A fascinatingly original look at how the sea has defined Britain and decided the course of its past for thousands of years. Combining science, history and travel into a unique and irreverent guide to the British coast, this book will ensure the next time you stand on a beach you will never look at the coast the same way again.
Bowers looks beyond the beach to what lies beneath the surface of the sea and how it worksThe intertwining of oceanography and history is fascinating. The sea will always holds its secrets, but Home Waters makes them a bit more accessible. * Geographical, magazine of the Royal Geographical Society *
