Produktbeschreibung

Steepest Mountains explores the intersection of geology, ecosystems, and human ambition on Earth's most challenging peaks. It delves into what drives individuals to confront seemingly insurmountable walls of rock and ice, examining the geological forces that created these dramatic landscapes and the unique plant and animal life that has adapted to survive in such extreme high-altitude conditions.
The book vividly recounts the history of mountaineering, from early exploration to the evolution of climbing techniques, highlighting the incredible feats of human endurance achieved in the Andes, Himalayas, and Karakoram.

The book uniquely weaves together scientific rigor with compelling storytelling, presenting complex geological and biological information in an accessible style. It progresses by first establishing the geological foundations of steep mountain ranges, then moves to examining high-altitude ecosystems and finally delves into the history and psychology of extreme mountaineering, including the evolution of climbing equipment and the ethical considerations of modern mountaineering.
Through detailed analyses of specific mountain faces, Steepest Mountains reveals the interconnectedness of our planet and the remarkable natural resilience found in even the most seemingly inhospitable places.
