Product Description
Product Description
"Mountains" invites us into a world of intense beauty and timelessness as we gaze at hundreds of pictures of mountains from unique angles and hear the stories of those who climb or live on them. Since the late 19th century, mountaineering has fed our desire for conquest, challenge, and knowledge, attracting us irresistibly to the highest peaks. Mt. Everest, the Matterhorn, K2, Mont Blanc, Cerro Torre, and Mount McKinley have become opportunities for us to test our limits; they are mysterious stone divinities that challenge us and from which we can draw lessons. This book presents the most fascinating aspects of mountains, both from a human point of view and in terms of visual beauty. In this eye-catching format, photographs and text together form a "cube" for the reader to explore. "Mountains" is a very affordable volume to give as a gift or to keep. Contains over 500 high quality colour photographs. Other best selling "Cube Books" include: Baby Animals (8854400025); The Earth (8854400017); Horses (8854400513); The Sea (8854400009); and Cats (8854400769).

mountain book
14 Dec 2011

This book is absolutely awesome! No it's not huge length wise, but it's pretty darn thick for a smaller book, but it's not too small like the smaller pocket size versions. The pictures are absolutely breathe taking a perfect present for someone I know who is a mountain lover and not too expensive either!

Love the Cube Books!

I have seven of the Cube Books and love everyone of them. Sometimes I do chuckle at the information in them when it isn't quite real, but the intent is good and the photographs awesome!
