Review # 1 was written on 2019-08-17 00:00:00 David Yarowsky There are some days when you just want to read about something completely random and learn something absolutely new. Every time I feel like that urge, I look towards the A Very Short Introduction series. This instalment was no different. I loved that this went into the science of mountains and the populations that live in and around mountains. I love the talk about climate and climate changes and what it means to the rest of the lower regions when there is a shift in the atmosphere at elevated peaks. I loved learning about the water sources in mountainous regions and the global, religious and historical importance of mountains. It was a fire read in the series.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-08-30 00:00:00 Rene Bakker I love this Oxford series of "very short introductions." So far Rivers has been my favorite, and Mountains was really interesting, as was Deserts. (I still have Lakes, Forests, Oceans, and Savannahs ahead of me.) I liked Sport a lot, Fashion was OK, but I did not like Chinese Literature, Diplomacy, or African History. Finally, I also have Leadership and Military Strategy on my shelf to read. Love these skinny books!
