John Ball crossed South America with a botanist's eye, climbing from steaming lowlands to Andean heights and watching the temperature and the flora change with every thousand feet. His notes mix travel, science and a theory of mountain plant life. Fieldwork from a curious and cultivated traveler. Ascend the great cordillera in his company.

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.
