Descripción Trade Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Watson, Ethyl - Cover Design Ilustrador. Assumed First Edition. 233 Pages. Three inked gift inscription lines "To Tony Jackson Best Wishes, Bob Julyan" on the title page. From Absaroka to Zinal Rothom, this delightful book tells the stories behind the names of more than 300 of the world's mountains, including the famous, the infamous, and some of the less well known that have acquired marvelous monikers. Since man first saw bumps on his horizon he's been applying names to them, even if just the purely descriptive. Thus it's easy to assume the origins of Switzerland's Dent Blanche ("white tooth"), France's Aiguille Verte ("green needle"), and Italy's Vesuvius ("emitter of smoke and sparks"). But what gave us Norway's Galdhepiggen, Mexico's Ixtaccihuatl, Pakistan's K2, Ireland's Mac Gillycuddys Reeks, Colorado's Pikes Peak, Switzerland's Hugihorn, South Dakota's Kiss Me Quick Hills, and Maine's Sowbungy? Local residents, muntaineers, politicians, cartographers-all have taken their turns at naming mountains, to commemorate heroes, battles, relatives, idols, myths and legends, sometimes with a fine disregard for the physical attributes of the peak. Author julvan has spent several years researching the reasons why mountains received their official and unofficial names. In the process he has unearthed facts, folklore, local color and just plain good yarns that are both informative and entertaining, reflecting the history and character of the mountains. To quote a scholar of names, A place without a name in one sense isn't really a place. Nº de ref. del artículo: 23163
