Fascinating! If you're interested in mountaineering or photography, this is a fun and beautiful book.
Book Description
Just as mountaineering developed from a leisure-time pursuit into the high-tech, intense sport it is today, photography has evolved into a favorite activity as well. This parallel growth created a distinct genre of mountaineering photography. As much a history of mountaineering as a history of photography, Souvenirs from High Places offers a fascinating collection of images from both ground-breaking photographers and amateur enthusiasts that demonstrates not only how much has changed, but how much has remained the same.
