Contact: Mountain Climbing and Environmental Thinking

By Jeffrey Mathes Mccarthy

Contact collects new and classic first-person climbing stories from North America's best-known climbers and writers. Mountain climbers are important but overlooked commentators on the environment, and this collection of alpine adventures demonstrates the relationship between climbers and nature both for a popular audience and for academics working in the field of environmental literature. Contributors include Gary Snyder, John Daniel, Chris McNamara, and Greg Child.
