Guide to Mountains
An Illustrated Guide to the Ecology and Conservation of the World's
Mountains
Doug Scott, General Editor
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 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. 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.
