Tidal Bores of England, Scotland and Wales is a lovely little guide to viewing tidal bores throughout Britain. Despite my university degree in Geography, I didn't actually know what I tidal bore was and learned that it is when the rising tide forces water up the stream of a tributary causing a wave to form. The waves can be large enough to surf to a small ripple in the water. The book notes several places on the British coast where tidal bores occur and provides information on how best to view them. It also provides brief information and helpful links to additional places in the are worth visiting after you view the bore. I really appreciated that the book included color pictures and scientific information on tides, why they occur, and how they create tidal bores.
