Praise for the Imray Explorer Guides series:

"These three small booklets represent an interesting new 'explainer' approach... Though common sense would suggest that Tides should come first I began with The Moon and enjoyed the different perspective... The Moon inculcates understanding of the different characteristics of each phase and what can be learned from a glance upwards at the 'tidetable in the sky'." — Julia Jones, Yachting Monthly
