The Alps is one of many quality books published by the Special Publications Division of the National Geographic Society. This book emphasizes the human aspect of the Alps and the traditional lifestyles of the people who live in these mountains. We journey through Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the Alpine regions of France and Italy, Bavaria, Slovenia, and Austria. Some of the notable places described include Zermatt, St. Moritz, Chamonix, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Lake Bled, and Innsbruck. As we visit these Alpine locales, the authors/photographers (there are a total of ten) introduce us to some of the farm families and other people whose way of life is very old. Other topics covered include the geologic formation of the Alps, famous mountains such as the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc, festivals and religious ceremonies, sports, and tourism. Includes a map of the Alps and a map of each specific Alpine region for each chapter. The numerous photographs make this book a great depiction of one of the most famous mountain ranges in the world.
