Mountaineering Essays by John Muir
This volume contains eleven mountain essays that include both adventurous narrative, joyful exultation, and descriptive features such as alpine soil beds, ancient and living glaciers, and mountain sculpture. In each, Muir maintains a careful and subtle balance between the physical aspects of ascending and the more symbolic observations of the sublimity of his surroundings.John Kenneth Muir has written over 20 reference books on science fiction and horror in film and television. His popular blog is reflectionsonfilmandtelevision.blogspot.com, and he is the creator of the Internet sci-fi series The House Between (www.thehousebetween.com).
