Summary

Ocean Waves explores the science behind ocean waves, tides, and currents, revealing their interconnectedness and impact on our planet. It emphasizes the importance of understanding ocean dynamics for coastal management, navigation safety, and predicting coastal hazards. For instance, the book examines how wind energy transfers to the water's surface to generate waves, and how the gravitational forces of the moon and sun influence tides.

 
This book traces the evolution of our understanding of wave mechanics, from early observations to modern mathematical models. It investigates phenomena like wave interference, rogue waves, and tsunami generation. Ocean Waves also connects to other fields such as meteorology and geology, enriching our perspective and underscoring the importance of a holistic approach to ocean studies.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with basic wave formation principles, then moves on to the science of tides, the origins of extreme waves, and, finally, the practical implications of wave science. Supported by oceanographic survey data and historical records, it offers an integrated perspective of the latest research alongside established theories, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in Earth science and the dynamic nature of our oceans.

Tree - My Encounters with Trees

Aya Koda

'Translated into English for the first time after a hugely successful 2022 reissue in Japan, this classic text, which features prominently in Wim Wenders’ film Perfect Days, takes us on a “beautiful, pensive” journey through trees in Japan.'--Caroline Sanderson, The Bookseller 
 
A Japanese classic, Tree invites us to foster peace in our lives by connecting with trees. 
Cherry blossom, hinoki, ezo spruce. Persimmon, maple, cypress. The trees of Japan are wondrous emblems of beauty that cast a spell on those who venture to its unique landscape. 
 
As a child, Aya Koda realized they were more than mere objects of beauty. Gifted a sapling by her father, she discovered that we depend on trees as much as they do on us. Markers of time passing, they clear the air and regenerate our earth – while we are responsible to care for their future. 
 
Following her travels around Japan, as she witnesses landslides, lumber and forests of falling ash, Tree is a beautiful series of essays that contemplate the most distinctive and eternal features of our natural world. A modern classic translated for the first time, Koda’s voice echoes down the generations, to remind us that trees hold a mirror to what we cherish on earth, and what we choose to leave behind. 
 
Featured in Wim Winders’ Oscar-nominated film Perfect Days and now in English for the first time, translated from Japanese by Charlotte Goff.
