General Editor: Doug Scott. Published by Firefly Books Ltd., 2006. Description: |
| Guide to Mountains is an ideal and handy quick-reference
book that naturalists, mountain climbers, skiers, hikers, and travelers of all
ages will enjoy and find useful. It is an illustrated, concise reference to the
Earth’s mountains. This comprehensive and compact resource begins with an exploration of the powerful geological and other natural forces that create and shape mountains. Environmental sensitivity and unique weather conditions like snow and ice, avalanches and glaciers have lasting effects on mountains, and many diverse societies and economies exist in mountainous regions. This easy-to-use pocket guidebook features an atlas of the world’s major mountain regions that shows topography with detailed descriptions and informative tables of key facts and figures. Detailed topographic maps and colour photographs show the world’s significant ranges and the accompanying text explores the specific ecological pressures that these regions face. |
