Why are there mountains at all, and what lives on them once they rise? Henry Hutchinson explains the making of ranges for general readers: the folding and fire that build peaks, the storms that wear them down, and the hardy plants and animals of the heights. Clear science with a climber's affection. Look up, then learn how the hills were made.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
