A tidal bore is a series of waves propagating upstream as the tidal flow turns to rising. This book demystifies the physics of a tidal bore and it documents the tidal bores on our planet. It aims to cultivate a passion for a beautiful, but fragile geophysical process, with in-depth updated content and by over 190 illustrations and photographs.
