The Alps (Classic Reprint) by Arnold Lunn Pdf

Excerpt from The Alps For the early chapters of this book I have consulted, amongst other authorities, the books mentioned in the bibliography on pp. 251- 254. It would, however, be ungracious if I failed to acknowledge my indebtedness to that most readable of historians, Mr. Gribble, and to his books, The Early Mountaineers (Fisher Unwin) and The Story of Alpine Climbing (Nelson). Mr. Gribble and his publisher, Mr. Unwin, have kindly allowed me to quote passages translated from the works of the pioneers. Two friends, experts in the practice and history of mountaineering, have read the proofs and helped me with numerous suggestions.

The Alps by Arnold Henry Moore Lunn Pdf

His blend included scientific accuracy with emotional clarity. The above along with an excellent bibliography make this book an excellent starting off point for people fascinated by mountains and particularly the Swiss Alps.His reference to Algernon Blackwood demonstrated to me the breadth of his understanding of people and these mountains. The Swiss Alps were, arguably, the life of Arnold Lunn.

In Praise of Switzerland by Harold Spender Pdf

Excerpt from In Praise of Switzerland: Being the Alps, in Prose and Verse IN the building of Europe, Nature placed as a guard and a barrier at the head of each southern tongue of land, a formidable screen of mountains - the Balkans, the Pyrenees and the Alps. Of all these ranges far and away the most formidable is the Alps. It stretches from sea to sea - from the Mediterranean to the Adriatic. It contains mountains of every shape and form, from the great rounded formation of Mont Blanc to the needle points Of the Dolomites. It includes great lakes, rich valleys, wide mountain pastures. It leans down to grassy slopes and up to eternal snows. It comprises vast glaciers and huge plains. In building such a barrier Nature seems to have had some prophetic feeling that it was to be a protection for a race destined to give to Europe both a law and a religion.

Life of Man on the High Alps (Classic Reprint) by Angelo Mosso Pdf

Excerpt from Life of Man on the High Alps On the intimation Of the acquiescence of the Ministry I went to Ivrea where the Alpine regiment was stationed. My errand being made known, a number of soldiers immediately Offered to join the expedition to the glaciers of Monte Rosa. I shall Often have occasion to mention by name those who accompanied me; I take, however, this early opportunity of remarking that their behaviour and discipline were worthy of all praise, and of giving expression to my feelings of admiration for the sterling qualities Of these humble comrades of mine, to whom likewise my heartiest thanks are due. The first month, from the roth Of June to the r1th Of July, 1894, was devoted to preliminary researches with the object of ascertaining the physio logical conditions of the soldiers. As it was necessary to know what was their power Of resistance to fatigue at ordinary elevations, I let them march with arms and baggage from Ivrea to Turin, a distance of 60 kilometres. I had purposely chosen some soldiers who were very strong and others of average strength: these I divided into two squads. I started with one squad and made the ascent at a slow rate Of progress, about metres per week. The other division climbed up to the summit of Monte Rosa rapidly, em ploying only three days, the rest being by that time installed in the Regina Margherita Hut, awaiting their arrival. This arrangement was made with the intent of discovering the effect of slow and rapid changes of altitude on the organism.

Summer Holidays in the Alps by W. E. Durham Pdf

Excerpt from Summer Holidays in the Alps: 1898-1914 The spell of the mountains has led men to the commission of many follies. It has now driven me to the length of writing and publishing a book. Last summer I was, like many others, hungering for the Alps, and to console myself for absence from the objects of my desire I set to work to revise my notes and diaries, and to put them into something like a connected form. My narrative tells of no "record" climbs, no notable achievements. It is but the simple story of the wanderings of a middle-aged (alas! I should now say elderly) mountaineer in various parts of the Alps, from the Engadin to Dauphine, and from the Oberland to the Graians. But I have, myself, derived so much pleasure from following (in print) the footsteps of others on ground with which I am familiar, that I venture to hope that the following pages may give a measure of enjoyment to some, whose memories, like my own, love to linger round the mountains. Perhaps, too, others, who have seen them only from a distance - or even never seen them at all - may care to follow a climber among the snowy peaks and glaciers, and to learn the secrets of his joys.

How the English Made the Alps by Jim Ring Pdf

For English read British which is not to quibble with the title but, as Jim Ring himself explains, 'During the period on which this book focuses, it was the custom - in the words of a Scot - ''to let the part - the larger part - speak for the whole.'' Those countries which received them - France, Italy, Austria, Germany, and above all Switzerland - all talked of the English, and the presence of the English in the Alps was precisely so described. To use the term British would thus have been an anachronism.' The nineteenth century will forever be associated with the growth of the British Empire, but nearer home there was a quieter conquest taking place. Gradually the English were taking over the Alps, scaling their peaks, driving railways through them, and introducing both winter sports and those quintessential English institutions - tea, baths, lawn tennis and churches - to remote mountain villages. Jim Ring tells the remarkable story of the English love affair with the Alps, from its beginnings with the Romantic movement, when poets such as Byron and Shelly wrote of the mountains with awed delight, through the great days of the 1850s and 1860s and the formation of the Alpine Club, to the inter-war years when the English assured the future prosperity of the alpine resorts by virtually inventing and then popularizing downhill-skiing. Part history, part biography, How the English made the Alps brings the characters - the artists, the scientists, the gentleman-adventurers, the invalids, the aristocrats, eccentrics and mountain-scramblers - vividly to life. 'Jim Rings's book cannot be bettered.'
