{"product_id":"alpine-mountain-guides-of-the-nineteenth-century-9781503123311","title":"Alpine Mountain Guides: Of The Nineteenth Century","description":"This book makes a contribution to mountaineering history. Almost all first ascents made in the Alps during the nineteenth century were led by professional mountain guides. Together they form a fascinating group of men who formed a close relationship with mountaineers, referred to as 'amateurs' in the true sense of the word, despite a great difference in their respective style of life. Many first ascents are described, first in the Alps then in the Caucasus, Himalaya, Andes and New Zealand, all mountain areas where Alpine Guides played a major role.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12000984\"\u003eMalcolm Craig\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 1.01d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503123311\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503123316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SPO\"\u003eSports \u0026amp; Recreation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SPO029000\"\u003eMountaineering\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author worked as a professional guide in the Alps of Switzerland, Austria and Italy.
