Revel in the lush illustrations by Wild Animals of The North creator, Dieter Braun, in this celebration of mountains all over the world.

Reviews

"[...] gifted with bold visuals and a beguiling sense of appreciation for nature's beauties."
Kirkus Reviews

“The art is striking: filling each page, beautifully angular graphics interpret rather than literally depict what is happening on and around these massive natural formations, many with supporting captions. […] a fun exploration”
Booklist 

"From icy glaciers to fiery volcanic peaks and summits made of rock and sand, the breathtaking mountains of the world emerge in a comprehensive and engaging compilation that explores the highest heights known to man."
Foreword Reviews
