I needed some books for preparing for IESO selection camp and i searched net and found this link:
https://www.sites.google.com/site/ineso555/reading-materials
The last books on the list titled as wavesandtides is the one i am looking for. Sadly, they have only given two sample pages of the book(i loved that part). And there is no clue on the real name of the book and the author's name as well.

Can you help telling me what book this is?

Just outta curiosity How did you find this book? You bought it to see whether it matches(impossible) or have already read it as a part of a course?
