At the coast, we see the tide as a twice-daily rise and fall of sea level that moves the edge of the sea up and down a beach or cliff-face. In some places, the tide is small but at others it can rise in a few hours by the height of a three storey building; it then has to be treated with greatrespect by those who live and work by the sea.In this Very Short Introduction David George Bowers and Emyr Martyn Roberts explore what we know about the tides.
