On Australia's mountains, the great sagas of the earth from its earliest days are inscribed for those who care to look closely. Alasdair McGregor traces the rise and fall of the Australian continent, from mountains of ice and fire to those of iron and those with their heads in the clouds. An expansive contemplation of natural, geological and social history, McGregor's account defies Australia's reputation as the flattest continent on earth, illuminating the landscape in all its breathtaking height and glory. Australian mountaineer Greg Mortimer describes his own long connection with mountains big and small, and his particular affection for the ancient peaks of Australia.
