The Manual of Tides and Tidal Currents is a comprehensive guide to the study of tides and tidal currents, written by Samuel Haughton in 1865. The book covers a wide range of topics related to the subject, including the causes of tides, the prediction of tides and tidal currents, and their effects on navigation and coastal engineering. Haughton's work is based on extensive research and observation, and he draws on a range of sources, including historical records, scientific experiments, and mathematical models. The book is organized into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of tides and tidal currents. In the first section, Haughton provides an overview of the history of tidal observation and measurement, and discusses the various methods used to predict tides. He then goes on to explore the causes of tides, including the gravitational forces of the moon and sun, and the effects of the earth's rotation. The second section of the book focuses on tidal currents, including their causes, measurement, and prediction. Haughton also discusses the effects of tidal currents on navigation, and the challenges they pose to coastal engineering. The third section of the book is devoted to the practical aspects of tidal prediction and measurement. Haughton provides detailed instructions on how to use tide tables and charts, and discusses the various instruments used to measure tides and tidal currents. Overall, the Manual of Tides and Tidal Currents is an important work in the history of oceanography and coastal engineering, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of tides and tidal currents.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
