Overview

Home to large numbers of people, sources of water, centres of tourism, and sensitive ecological zones, mountain environments share distinctive climactic characteristics. Once regarded as economically non-viable regions, mountains now attract major investment as sites of tourism, hydro-power and communication routes. This book brings together some of the current work on the physical and human ecology of mountain environments, the impacts of climate change, the processes involved and their observation and prediction.

Reviews

`It is the stimulating discussion of issues, such as that makes this book highly readable. The standard of production is excellent, the maps and diagrams are clear and informative, and each chapter is well referenced. The book can be recommended not only to those interested in mountains but also to anyone concerned with environmental issues in general.' - Geoscientist
