A world tour of mountains and their habitats

Jason Bittel’s illustrated guide visits ten mountains and mountain regions, organizing its tour around four types of landform: plateaus, volcanoes, mountain ranges, and tepuis. Geography shares the page with the plants and animals adapted to these environments, from mountain goats on Rocky Mountain cliffs to high-altitude flowers in the Himalayas. Clearly labelled illustrations and photographs support the book’s factual exploration, while examples range from the Andes and Mount Fuji to the Matterhorn. The result is a geography-focused introduction to mountain landscapes as living habitats, with both familiar landmarks and less-well-known places represented.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children interested in mountains, geography, and Earth science
  • Young nature enthusiasts curious about plants and animals in different habitats
  • Readers who enjoy illustrated nonfiction with photographs and labelled diagrams
