Book excerpt: A sea kayak battles the freezing Irish waters as the morning sun rises out of the countryside. On the western horizon is the pinnacle of Skellig Michael-700 feet of vertical rock rising out of exploding seas. Somewhere on the isolated island are sixth-century monastic ruins where the light of civilization was kept burning during the Dark Ages by early Christian Irish monks. Puffins surface a few yards from the boat, as hundreds of gannets wheel overhead on six foot wing spans. The ocean rises violently and tosses paddler and boat as if they were discarded flotsam. This is just one day of Chris Duff's incredible three month journey.

In the Arctic, White shimmies under the ice with an Inuit elder to hunt for mussels in the dark cavities left behind at low tide; in China, he races the Silver Dragon, a twenty-five-foot tidal bore that crashes eighty miles up the Qiantang River; in France, he interviews the monks that live in the tide-wrapped monastery of Mont Saint-Michel; in Chile and Scotland, he investigates the growth of tidal power generation; and in Panama and Venice, he delves into how the threat of sea level rise is changing human culture—the very old and very new. Tides combines lyrical prose, colorful adventure travel, and provocative scientific inquiry into the elemental, mysterious paradox that keeps our planet’s waters in constant motion. Photographs, scientific figures, line drawings, and sixteen color photos dramatically illustrate this engaging, expert tour of the tides.

The voice leads her to the beach, where she falls asleep in a boat. Mahana loves to dream about travelling to new places, and she deeply desires to visit Shehakim (heaven), so when the boat breaks loose and she wakes up to find herself drifting out to sea, she decides to sail towards a star that points to heaven. Along the way, she meets Tarila, a young dolphin who became separated from her pod when a shark attacked. Tarila is caught in some loose fishing net, so Mahana frees her and together they continue on the adventure, encountering storms, hunger, and fatigue. Mahana eventually falls asleep and dreams of visiting her grandparents in Shehakim, which surprisingly looks a lot like Ua Huka! After several days of drifting, they discover Tarila's pod. Now reunited with her family, Tarila and the pod help Mahana find her way home, but not before a repeat encounter with the shark! Young readers will delight in this tale of courage, friendship, and ocean life. As Mahana discovers, we don’t have to wait to know the happiness that heaven holds, because the secret is appreciating what we have today with our family and friends.
