Product Description
Synopsis
"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).
