Harnessing Wave and Tidal Energy

By Nancy Dickmann

Book Overview

Hurricanes and tsunamis have become a major global warming concern in recent years, but a solution for cleaner energy might be hidden in these same waters. Readers will explore humanity's relationship with waves and tidal energy sources, delving into the world's biggest tidal range in the Bay of Fundy and voyaging out to open waters where Ceto devices lurk beneath buoys. Fact boxes offer fascinating tidbits to hook even the most reluctant readers and vivid photographs help readers understand complex wave-harnessing technologies with ease. This fact-packed volume will make a splash in any science curriculum!
