Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. For centuries, mariners have relied on the positions and movements of celestial bodies to navigate the vast expanse of the oceans. This book provides an in-depth exploration into a crucial aspect of such celestial navigation: computing the times of high and low tides. Beginning with an introduction to the fundamentals of tide theory, the author meticulously details the "upper and lower transit method" - an established technique for calculating tides without the use of sophisticated astronomical computations. Step-by-step instructions, paired with illustrative examples, enable readers to grasp the nuances of this technique and develop a profound understanding of tide prediction. The book goes beyond mere computation, delving into the connection between tidal occurrences and the moon's position. It unravels the intricacies of this relationship, offering a comprehensive examination of how tidal events vary in different geographical locations. This book is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to master the art of tide prediction, whether for recreational boating, commercial fishing, or historical research. Its systematic approach and accessible explanations make it an invaluable guide for mariners, students, and anyone fascinated by the rhythmic dance of the tides. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781527868540_0
