The year is 2065 and an old man looks back on a life of change, of crisis and recovery, and intense development...While the narrative is set on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey, 'Turning The Tides' is the story of both one man's achievements and of a county's capacity to find itself and stand alone. It will be of immediate interest to all people concerned about: - eating organic food- what farming should do after foot and mouth- electricity production from natural sources- pollution-free transport- teaching, and more manageable, smaller classes- promoting tourism- inner-city congestion- the improvement of our total environment.With the invention of a fin turbine to harness the power of the tides and generate electricity in a way that results in no pollution, the narrator sets forward to change society's approach to technology and the environment, to education and organic food production and his community's approach to their proud heritage.BUT it is a novel, a life story! Set in the immediate future.NOT technical.Fully possible...!
