The Mountains is one of twenty-five volumes in the Life Nature Library. Originally published in the 1960s, this series is an introduction to the many aspects of the natural world. This book focuses on the geology, ecology, and inhabitants of the highest portions of the Earth. Topics covered include glaciers, mountain building processes (folding, faulting, and volcanism), volcanoes, plants and animals of the mountains, mountain peoples, famous mountain passes, and the history of mountain climbing. The book concludes with a description of the conquest of Mount Everest. Picture essays portray the Swiss Alps, famous volcanoes, plants and animals of the mountains, the mountain peoples of the Andes and Himalayas, and mountain climbing. A chart of fifty famous mountains of the world is included. The altitudes of these peaks, the nationalities of the men who first climbed them, and other details of their histories are given in the appendix. Though somewhat dated, The Mountains is an excellent book about the many features of the Earth and its heights.
