Climber's Paradise

The Alpine Club of Canada imagined the Rockies and neighbouring ranges to the west and the north as s "climber's paradise." Through a century of adventure and advocacy, the ACC led the way to mountain pursuits in spectacular regions. In Climber's paradise, historian and mountain studies specialist Pearl Ann Reichwein presents a compelling case for understanding wild places and human activity within them as parts of a whole. This is a work of invaluable scholarship in the areas of environmental history, public policy, sport studies, recreation, and tourism that gains significantly from the author's personal experience mountaineering and from has interest in mountain culture, This book speaks to mountaineers, environmentalists, travellers across. Canada and beyond, and all of us who embrace nature.
