Reviews
neat little book, perfect for carrying in a pocket or in hand luggage ... I would certainly recommend
this as a suitable text for pre-A level or undergraduate reading lists, or for anyone with a wider interest in mountains. * Jane Terry, GeographyMountain Research and Development *
The text is packed with information and details on mountains and gives an easy-to-read insight into many facts about mountains and people's interaction with them. It is highly recommended for anybody interested and its small light-weight format allows taking it along to read at the top of a mountain. * eco.mont *
Even if your interest in mountains stops short at the Cheviot, you should find food for thought in these pages. * Mike Merchant, Scottish Mountaineer *
conveys a vivid impression of the many ways in which mountains are important to us. * Network Reviews *
