Written by experienced sailor and Tide School founder William Thomson, these concise and accessible books offer a clear explanation of tides, tidal streams, and the moon's influence, using straightforward language and vivid illustrations.

Praise for the Imray Explorer Guides series:

"These three small booklets represent an interesting new 'explainer' approach...The central concept being conveyed in Tides is that of the single long wave moving in great circles... The Moon inculcates understanding of the different characteristics of each phase... Tidal Streams explains (rather brilliantly I thought) why ebb tides happen... It's especially useful for considering and calculating the time of slack water... It's perhaps easy to assume that the approach in these little books would best suit younger people...but many of us older ones...will find it refreshing to make new links between what we know...and what we observe..." — Julia Jones, Yachting Monthly
