Moved By A Mountain: Inspiration from an Alpine View in Alaska

Features 23 full-page black and white photos of mountains and glaciers taken from author's cabin. Also contains 21 smaller photos. Text describes finding the land, building the cabin, and explores the question: “how and why are humans inspired by mountain views?” includes many profound quotes on the subject. This is a thought-provoking, and aesthetically-arresting book.

 

“There's more to climbing mountains than physical and mental acuity.

There's the magical experience of being on the mountain,

seeing the intense beauty of the rarefied mountainscape,

and feeling what it has to teach.

In Moved by a Mountain, Tom Reed’s stunning images and thoughtful text

remind us that we can learn qualities of personal integrity

not only from climbing a majestic mountain,

but from looking at one, if our eyes and hearts are open.”
