Item description from seller

Contents: 1. Introduction to Mountains. 2. Origins of Mountains. 3. Mountain Climate. 4. Snow, Ice, Avalanches and Glaciers. 5. Mountain Landforms and Geomorphic Processes. 6. Mountain Soils. 7. Mountain Vegetation. 8. Mountain Wildlife.9. Attitudes Toward Mountains. 10. People in the Mountains. 11. Agricultural Settlement and Land Use in Mountains. 12. Sustainable Mountain Development. Mountains cover a quarter of the Earth s land surface and a quarter of the global population lives in or adjacent to these areas. The global importance of mountains is recognized particularly because they provide critical resources, such as water, food and wood; contain high levels of biological and cultural diversity; attract humans as places for tourism and recreation; and in many cultures are instilled with sacred significance. This major revision of Larry Price s book Mountains and Man (1981) is both timely and highly appropriate. The past three decades have been a period of remarkable progress in our understanding of mountains from an academic point of view. Of even greater importance is that society at large now realizes that mountains and the people who reside in them are not isolated from the main stream of world affairs, but are vital if we are to achieve an environmentally sustainable future.
