From the Andes to the Himalayas, mountains have an extraordinary
power to evoke a sense of the sacred. In the overwhelming wonder
and awe that these dramatic features of the landscape awaken,
people experience something of deeper significance that imbues
their lives with meaning and vitality. Drawing on his extensive
research and personal experience as a scholar and climber, Edwin
Bernbaum's Sacred Mountains of the World takes the reader on a
fascinating journey exploring the role of mountains in the
mythologies, religions, history, literature, and art of cultures
around the world. Bernbaum delves into the spiritual dimensions of
mountaineering and the implications of sacred mountains for
environmental and cultural preservation. This beautifully written,
evocative book shows how the contemplation of sacred mountains can
transform everyday life, even in cities far from the peaks
themselves. Thoroughly revised and updated, this new edition
considers additional sacred mountains, as well as the impacts of
climate change on the sacredness of mountains.
