Book
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dustjacket. A good reading copy. The Book of the Mountains carries us all over the earth, through the Himalayan ranges, and mountains of Wild Wales; across the Andes, and the Pyrenees; to the High Sierras, the glacier of the Alps, to reveal the mountain world. The lure of great heights; the peaceful solitude and majesty of towering ranges; the blinding fury of mountain storms - all are reflected in these selections which have been culled from the earliest written records down to the present. The sections are: 1, Men Climb the Mountains; 2, Men Live & Work on the Moutains; 3, Men Against the Mountains; 4, Men Study the Mountains; 5, Men Fight on the Mountains; and, 6, Men Wonder at the Mystery of the Mountains.
