Books about Mountains
Mountain Light -- Lose yourself in stunning mountain scenery
A 'coffee table' book to cherish
Spectacular mountain scenery in a book you'll love to display. Mountain Light by leading landscape photographer Galen A Rowell is a true classic when it comes to the world's mountains. Packed with 80 of his own photographs and all the information on how each scene was captured.
Mountain Light: In Search of the Dynamic Landscape, Tenth-Anniversary Edition
Amazon Price: $166.38 (as of 06/03/2012)![]()
Used Price: $7.24
Excerpt from review by Amazon buyer 'CMOS':
If you love the mountains and the feeling they give you as you take in their grandeur...or if you love photographing these majestic places, this book will likely become one of your favorites. As a landscape photographer, I've poured over literally thousands of landscape photos - in books, slides and magazines - but the work of Galen Rowell stands alone in the realm of mountain landscapes.
He has the rare ability to sense and then photograph those fleeting moments that most (even many photographers) only daydream about. His photos will not only impress your eyes but they will tug at your soul. If ever a collection of photographs defined the majesty and mystery of mountains, this is it.
True Life Mountain Stories
Classic tales from the mountainside
These classic books are all based on real-life events. They include:
Touching the Void
Joe Simpson's shocking account of his climb when he was left for dead in a mountain crevasse and, against all odds and in the face of death itself, crawls back to base camp.
Into Thin Air
The Everest expedition that turned into a tragedy as the drive to reach the summit overtook all else.
The White Spider
Many only heard of Heinrich Harrer when he was played by Brad Pitt in Seven Years in Tibet, but that was just part of his tale. In 1938, Harrer and his companions made the first successful ascent of the terrifying North Face of the Eiger in Switzerland.
Films about Mountains
DVD Versions of Real Life Mountain Tragedies and Triumphs
From the Andes to Everest, battles with mountains won and lost
Touching the Void: DVD
If you would prefer a DVD, here's your chance to see the acclaimed film version of Touching the Void, as it recreates the drama and horror of Simpson and Yates' ill-fated expedition to the Andes. Joe Simpson and Simon Yates both narrate, giving their own separate perspectives of a tragedy with an ending that was nothing short of miraculous.
Everest (Liam Neeson)
The documentary Everest was shot during the same 1996 expedition that ended in tragedy for the group of climbers in Into Thin Air and includes the film makers own part in the rescue attempts. Narrated by Liam Neeson.
The Man Who Skied Down Everest
From one extraordinary Everest tale to another, The Man Who Skied Down Everest chronicles the amazing adventure of Yuichiro Miura, a Japanese explorer and world-class skier. His ascent was overshadowed by tragedy as 6 of his party lost their lives. His descent was the stuff of legends. Miura hurtled down the world's greatest (and one of its deadliest) mountains on skis, only to crash and be sent plummeting down the mountainside. Fortunately he lived to tell the tale and the footage survived too.

WordCustard's Bio
It's easy to see why I love Squidoo -- I get paid to write about my passions! These include face painting, dance, European travel, photography, and more. Click on my picture if you'd like to join me here.
I'm a member of Squidoo's Giant 100 Club which means that I have over 100 unique and high quality web pages here on Squidoo. You can also find me writing for other sites on the web.
See the full list of topics I have written about: WordCustard on Squidoo.
About my Avatar: When I first joined Squidoo I used a photo of a smiling green pear that I had made myself. Over time the pear and WordCustard have become so linked that it would be hard to change it. So you will see a pear somewhere on most of my pages. Here in my bio I'm using an awesome avatar created just for me by the talented graphic designer and fellow Squidoo writer arncyn.
