Told through the author's own journeys, the narrative ranges across cultures and iconic naturalists to consider how varied ideas and experiences related to mountains--from sacred to scientific, romantic to retreat, to simply home--are all facets of the same intricate topography. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e No matter where one starts on the spectrum of understanding, an intimate encounter with a mountain leads to a broader perspective. High places create a simultaneous humbleness at our human insignificance and a sense of belonging within the greater world. That quality of belonging, and the associated commitment of caring for the planet and all that it holds, has never been more important than it is today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robin Patten\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1647692261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781647692261\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Utah Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Robin Patten","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46451251740927,"sku":"9781647692261","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f31f723f-28a7-42ef-a1cc-296e54fb62a7.jpg?v=1735876915","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-mountain-robin-patten-9781647692261","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
