Vintage 1967 Our Living World of Nature: The Life of the Mountains by Maurice Brooks

Ascend into the world of high peaks and alpine wilderness with The Life of the Mountains by Maurice Brooks, part of the beloved Our Living World of Nature series published in 1967. With the prose of a naturalist who truly loves his subject, Brooks guides readers through the ecology, wildlife, and seasonal rhythms of mountain environments — from the Appalachians to the Rockies — bringing the fragile, spectacular world above the treeline vividly to life.

A wonderful find for lovers of natural history, environmental literature, and mid-century nature writing. Its illustrations and thoughtful text make it as beautiful to display as it is to read.
