About This Item

Random House, 1965. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. .A vivid presentation of the world of Alpinism - its history and its continuing fascination. With the author's experiences in the Alps and those of other famous mountaineers. The great outdoors has become so commercialized in recent years that it’s difficult to believe that for most of human history, mountains were regarded as obstacles to travelers that no sane person would climb unless compelled. Jeremy Bernstein traces the history of the sport of mountaineering from its origins in the Chamonix region of France in the late 18th Century through the present day. Bernstein, a physicist by profession and an exceptionally talented science writer, has climbed for seventeen summers in the French Alps under the careful supervision of Chamonix guides.
