Informative and most enjoyable
Tristan is a highly observant appreciator of nature. His beautifully written story is well researched. Facts are woven into a narrative of sea shanties, old folk wisdom and first principle observation. Tristan paints a series of panoramas with his descriptions, bringing you with him on the journey from puddle to sea. His explanations joined many dots and I thoroughly appreciated my first experience of this author, to the extent I've added another of his books to my reading list.

Accessible yet extensively thorough
dense with knowledge and demands your full attention BUT is well worth it. begins small, with cups and bathtubs before working towards seafaring, giving a foundation of thermodynamics that i wasnt prepared for. I will be rereading this soon! thank-you Tristan!
