HIGH AND WILD:
ESSAYS AND PHOTOGRAPHS ON WILDERNESS ADVENTURE
Galen Rowell
"A beautiful
tribute to Galen."
Ed Webster
". . . Galen
Rowell has visited some of the most beautiful and least trampled parts
of Alaska, made some breathtaking new ascents, including a reckless speed
climb of Mount McKinley . . . High & Wild is a book to be read again
and again and to feast on in times of despair."
Charles S. Houston, M.D., Leader 1938, 1953
American K2 Expeditions
"Galen Rowell
is the best among those who now chronicle mountaineering expeditions.
By perceptively viewing the mountains not only in the historical context
of those who sought them, but also in their ecological setting, the landscapes,
peoples, wild animals, he imbues the remote summits with\
lasting life."
George Schaller, author of The Stones of Silence
". . . Hetch
Hetchy . . . Half Dome . . . Alaska . . .The Cirque of the Unclimbables
. . . in all these places he took stunning pictures, pictures of the inaccessible
and the fabulously picturesque. Accompanying these gorgeous shots, composed
with a heroic eye on precipices and polar air, are his compelling narratives
of the climbs that made them possible."
New York Times
“He is a
superb photographer . . . [High and Wild] admits us to an extraordinary
world of great expanse and significance as few books do.”
San Francisco Chronicle
“The impeccable photojournalism of Galen Rowell makes wilderness
exploration seem even more majestic.”
Publisher’s Weekly
“Few photographers
capture the spirit and substance of high and wild places the way Galen
Rowell does. He earned fame first as a climber, and now . . . he’s
possibly the world’s best-known photojournalist.”
Outside Magazine
