About This Item
Edinburgh, Scotland: Scottish Mountaineering Trust, 1976. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. h/b 301 pages, condition is very good. This book by one of Scotland's foremost writers on mountain landscape describes with economy of words and illustrations the natural history of the Scottish Highlands and man's evolving role there in work and recreation. The book was originally intended to crown the definitive series of district hill guides published by the SMT. Happily the author has seized the opportunity to widen the scope of his brief. He has elevated the design and purpose to take us on a masterly conducted journey through the epochs of natural forces that fashioned the glens and mountains, the moors and lochs, the sea channels and islands all of which shape the unique landscape of Scotland. This journey charts a course through the evolution of the Scottish mountain scene - its landforms, changing climate and colonizations by plant and animal life - and finally through the millenia to colonization by man and his emerging life styles. The environment has been governed and changed by the hand of man where nature alone had previously ruled.
