Above timberline is an enchanting world unlike any other in New England - an alpine environment of extraordinary beauty. Here delicate plants, remarkable wildlife, and weather-worn geological formations exist in some of the world's harshest and most unpredictable weather conditions.

For those visitors to the alpine areas in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine the AMC Field Guide to the New England Alpine Summits is an essential guide. It's an ecologically oriented, profusely illustrated, full-color guide to dozens and dozens of beautiful alpine flowers and plants, birds, amphibians, insects, and other natural wonders. Authoritative text and over 170 color photos are presented in an easy-to-use format that offers a fast introductions - or a leisurely contemplation - of the natural communities of the alpine world.
