Where the Silence Rings: A Literary Companion to Mountains
I liked this book but there was definitely room for improvement. Some of the entries didn't work so well. The passage from the "Snow Leopard" is an example. It is very difficult to abstract a short passage from that book that makes sense on its own. You have to read the whole book.
There were some gems. "Thinking Like a Mountain" by Aldo Leopold is an example. It is a short little bit that beautifully captures a thought - in this case, the interdependence of nature.
It is a short work. I expect to return to it as time goes by, and small enough to easily bring on hikes.
