Review by Horn Book Review

The material in this book ranges wide rather than deep, touching on geology, tourism, weather, botany, zoology, mining, and other mountain-related subjects. Diagrams and photographs--some spectacular--enhance the slight presentation. Report writers will glean basic information; browsers will be briefly entertained. Activities are appended. Ind.
