Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'This then is a book of mountaineering, not presenting the Canadian Rockies in their entirety -- no single volume will ever do that -- but including many of the finest things. It is also a book of mountain travel, under conditions such as perhaps the European traveller experienced in the Alps during the Eighteenth Century. Finally, it is a book of mountain history; for here is Geography in the making, and with a tradition behind it -- a story that has never been properly gathered together, and whose details, in part at least, are gone forever.' -- from the Preface by J. Monroe Thorington Cloth bound in slipcase. Archival illustrations, photos and maps throughout; 4 panoramic, fold-out plates and 1 large map. Limited to 200 copies. Completely re-edited, re-designed and containing with an impressive collection of archival photos and maps, The Glittering Mountains of Canada is a must-read for anyone interested in mountain literature. The book's position in the pantheon of outdoor writing as a 'classic' is only further enhanced and supported by the passionate Foreword by well-known mountain historian and environmental writer Robert William Sandford, who urges the contemporary reader to embrace Thorington's belief in the importance of landscape and the poetry of place. This is a book that deserves to be read and appreciated alongside the work of Wallace Stegner, Henry David Thoreau and Sid Marty.…

One of the major books on Canadian mountaineering. Thorington ascended Mt. Columbia, Mt. Athabasca, Mt. Saskatchewan and North Twin Peak. "James Monroe Thorington, American mountaineer and mountain historian who climbed extensively in Canada and the Alps". Neate 807. Two summers of his youth, spent in the Bavarian Highlands, aroused his interest in mountaineering, a sport which dominated his avocational life. Fifteen seasons were spent in the Canadian Northwest, during which he explored much of the Alberta-British Columbia watershed between Mount Assiniboine and Robson, making some 50 first ascents, including Mounts Barnard, Lyell, Saskatchewan and North Twin, the latter being the highest summit entirely in Alberta. He also visited the Interior Ranges of British Columbia, with five seasons in the Purcell Range. A peak in the Purcells now bears his name. Many of the names of peaks suggested by him were accepted by the Geographic Board of Canada. He was the author of The Glittering Mountains of Canada (1925), The Purcell Range of British Columbia (1946) and the translator and editor of Conrad Kain's Where the Clouds Can Go (1935). He also wrote the standard guidebooks of the Canadian Rockies and the Interior Ranges of British Columbia, both of which have gone through several editions. 8vo. 22cm, The First Edition, limited to 1500 copies, this being #382, this copy additionally signed by the author, under the limited notice, xii,309p., with 104 illustrations, 7 panoramic views, 6 maps including a rear folding map, original ribbed blue cloth, bright gilt spine titles, light wrinkling on the half title and page opposite where a small paper label was removed, a few faint shadow marks on the boards, otherwise a very good to fine copy the spine and cover titles are fine, Signed copies are unusual.…
