Robert Macfarlane - Mountains of the Mind A History of a Fascination

Written by Robert Macfarlane. Themes include Nature, Ecosystems & Habitats, Mountains, Sports & Recreation, Mountaineering.

"In Mountains of the Mind, Robert Macfarlane blends cultural history, meditation, and memoir to show how early geologists helped transform our perceptions of the wild, chaotic landscapes; how the allure of height increasingly drew fearless climbers, culminating in the romantic figure of George Mallory, the passionate Englishman who died on Mount Everest in 1924; and how the elemental beauty of snow and ice coalesced into an aesthetic of the sublime."--Book Jacket.
