1.Sand County Almanac (Outdoor Essays and Reflections)Sand County Almanac (Outdoor Essays & Reflections)
from Ballantine Books
Price: $7.99

Customer Review:
I expected a book that would move me emotionally as well as intellectually, like Abby's Desert Solitude. That's not what this book is all about. It is well written, yes, but it only shoots for the intellect, not the heart, or at least it did for me. It is still an important read.

from Henry Holt and Co.
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
About a year or so ago I read Michael Kodas [High Crimes] and gave it
a bad review. The reason was that the journalist - Michael Kodas - was
so much in the book that any objectivity disappeared.
Anyways, in the comments to my review somebody suggested this book.
And, yes,... more info

I cut my outdoor teeth in the high peaks region back in the late 70s & early 80s. The beauty and unpredictability of the weather in this region are unmatched.

A very colorful look at Mt. Everest from the Imax Everest expedition. Much better than the Imax movie itself, compelling images interspersed with informative commentary and history from a number of writers.
Compared to Everest: Summit of Achievement this is a lightweight introduction. Yes, you... more info

8.Lost MountainLost Mountain
from Riverhead Hardcover

Customer Review:
Erik Reece's "Lost Mountain" is a metaphor as well as the actual name of a mountain. This is his story for a year in eastern Kentucky as the mountain "is removed."
This is not just another tale of woe about Big Coal, about coal mining or about mining in general. Reece knows that mining is here... more info

from Vintage
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
In this book, MacFarlane tries to trace the process by which humans - - well, European humans - - came to view mountains as places of beauty, glory, and adventure. He doesn't succeed in giving us an answer but he provides a lot of stories, and a little history, on these thems.
He builds the... more info
