neat little book, perfect for carrying in a pocket or in hand luggage ... I would certainly recommend


Jane Terry, Geography this as a suitable text for pre-A level or undergraduate reading lists, or for anyone with a wider interest in mountains.

It is highly recommended for anybody interested and its small light-weight format allows taking it along to read at the top of a mountain.


Mike Merchant, Scottish Mountaineer Even if your interest in mountains stops short at the Cheviot, you should find food for thought in these pages.
