Mountains invites us into a world of intense beauty and timelessness as we gaze at hundreds of pictures of mountains from unique angles and hear the stories of those who climb or live on them. Since the late 19th century, mountaineering has fed our desire for conquest, challenge, and knowledge, attracting us irresistibly to the highest peaks. Mt. Everest, the Matterhorn, K2, Mont Blanc, Cerro Torre, and Mount McKinley have become opportunities for us to test our limits; they are mysterious stone divinities that challenge us and from which we can draw lessons. This book presents the most fascinating aspects of mountains, both from a human point of view and in terms of visual beauty. The trademark three-dimensionality of the Cubebook format is perfectly suited for conveying the majesty of mountains-here form and content fit beautifully as photographs and text together form a "cube" for the reader to explore. Mountains is wonderful to give as a gift or to keep in order to experience the powerful emotions that only the world's noblest peaks are able to stimulate.

mountain book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mountains (Cube Books) (Hardcover)
This book is absolutely awesome! No it's not huge length wise, but it's pretty darn thick for a smaller book, but it's not too small like the smaller pocket size versions. The pictures are absolutely breathe taking a perfect present for someone I know who is a mountain lover and not too expensive either!

This review is from: Mountains (Cube Books) (Hardcover)
I have seven of the Cube Books and love everyone of them. Sometimes I do chuckle at the information in them when it isn't quite real, but the intent is good and the photographs awesome!
