About this book

The Alps: A Cultural History (Landscapes of the Imagination) by Beattie, Andrew. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780195309553.

The Alps are Europes highest mountain range: their broad arc stretches right across the center of the continent, encompassing a wide range of traditions and cultures. Andrew Beattie explores the turbulent past and vibrant present of this landscape, where early pioneers of tourism, mountaineering, and scientific research, along with the enduring legacies of historical regimes from the Romans to the Nazis, have all left their mark.
