This extraordinary collection of mountain writing spans five continents, 2,500 years, and numerous genres -- including poetry, myth, folk tales, and short stories. In this compelling new anthology, editor Gregory McNamee has gathered mountain-inspired literature from sources as varied and far-flung as the peaks themselves. The writings include folktales of the Ashanti and myths of the Aborigines; essays; journals and travelogues of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century travelers; poetry of both ancient and modern times. We hear from familiar voices -- Whitman, Muir, Dickens, Checkhov, Conan Doyle -- and from those not so familiar but equally fascinating. The mountain experiences described in the book are enormously varied, as well -- ranging from the powerful altitude-induced vision of Simon Bolivar atop Mount Chimborazo to a pleasure trip in the Alps, as recounted by Mrs. H.W. Cole, to V.K. Arseniev's tale of survival and rescue in a Siberian mountain storm. Yet, whether they speak of profound spiritual journeys, easy pleasure trips, or face-to-face encounters with death, all these voices are raised in collective celebration of the beauties and terrors of the most awe-inspiring of earth's treasures -- the mountains.

The changing climate, the warming of the world and acid rain are among the greatest problems facing us at the end of the twentieth century. This book describes, for the first time, the effects of these phenomena on the high mountains and the forests of Europe. Mountains and the frozen regions (the cryosphere) not only play a major part in our climatic system, but are also central to our water supplies. Yet our glaciers are shrinking, our lakes and soils are becoming acidified, our forests are damaged and the whole fragile ecosystem of ranges like the Alps and the Caucasus is threatened. Nilsson and Pitt present the evidence and assess the probable effects of these changes on mountain society, tourism, water, flora and fauna. They also examine the uncertainties. Above all they look, too, at the best possible strategies in response to What is happening and at what the next steps should be. Originally published in 1991
