Author: Martin Price
Mountains affect us all. Covering a quarter of the Earth’s land surface, these dramatic land forms are the source of water for at least half the world’s people. They are important centers of cultural and biological diversity. Mountains shape the landscapes of the world, inspire literature, and have challenged countless people to climb and conquer them.
This book explores the many facets of mountains, including the endless processes of mountain building and erosion, the huge variety of vegetation that is found in mountain regions, and the physical and human aspects of mountains.
