MEDIA REVIEWS

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