Résumé : SHORTLISTED FOR THE MARITIME FOUNDATION AWARD FOR BEST BOOK 2024
A fascinating and original look at how the sea has defined Britain - and decided the course of its history - for thousands of years.
Being an island nation is a core part of the British identity. An estimated two thirds of the world's population have never seen the sea, but in the UK that drops to under 10 per cent. Yet most people don't appreciate the impact our position on the edge of a continental shelf has had on our history, going back thousands of years.
Our coast neither starts nor ends at the beach, and this eye-opening book takes a look beneath the surface to explore the forces of nature that have made Britain what it is. We experience some of the highest tides on the planet and we are battered with waves that have travelled halfway around the globe before they get here, but most of what we understand about our unique waters has only been discovered in living memory.
In this fascinating guided tour of the fantastically varied British coastline, Professor David Bowers combines oceanography with maritime history, explaining tides, currents and waves in an accessible way whilst revealing how they have been responsible for both salvation (the Channel alone checked the Nazi advance in 1940) and disaster (such as the catastrophic 1953 flooding that led to the ingenious development of the Thames tidal barrier). He covers everything from how ocean swell waves were first recorded here in preparation for the D-Day landings, to how the first underwater light measurements paved the way to modern ocean satellite observation.
This is a story 8,000 years in the making, ever since the country broke away from mainland Europe in the Mesolithic era, and in his insightful and irreverent telling of it Professor Bowers shows that the British Isles are defined by the sea, regardless of whether you look at them from land or water. With exclusive photos and specially commissioned illustrations, the book encourages you to visit all the places it explores, but when you stand on the beach or clifftop you will never think of Britain in quite the same way again.
Biographie: 1 A Boundary in the Ocean - understanding Britain's place on the edge of a continental shelf
2 Coastal Currents - what happens when fresh water (rain) mixes with salt water (the sea) and why currents around Britain go in the direction they do
3 A Toe in the Water - exploring the different layers of the sea, and why temperature differences matter to sealife
4 Waves on a Cornish Beach - how preparations for the Normandy landings in 1944 taught us some waves travel halfway around the planet before getting here
5 A Night at The Alma - learning from devastating storm surges on the Essex coast to predict them and save lives in future
6 High Tide at Clevedon - understanding why the Bristol Channel has the second largest rise and fall of the tide in the world
7 Inspecting the Eagre - observing the tidal bore that sweeps up the River Trent to understand how these spectacular phenomena work
8 Double Tides at Port Ellen - the strange fluctuations in sea level at Southampton and Islay, and why they happen
9 Light and Colour - how measuring sunlight in the sea at Plymouth Sound led to new understandings about how the sea works
10 Layers in a Loch - why waves and currents can develop on lakes and lochs, and why this is important
Sommaire:
David Bowers is Professor Emeritus of Oceanography at Bangor University, Wales. He co-wrote the standard textbook in the subject, Introducing Oceanography (Dunedin, 2012), as well as the Very Short Introduction to Tides (OUP, 2019)....
