Book excerpt: Nevada is one of the most mountainous states in the US. Yet mapping out exactly where one range begins and another ends has never been done--until now. In this volume David Charlet provides maps and descriptions for all 319 mountain ranges in the state. Divided into three parts, the book presents a simple system recognizing the primary landscape features of Nevada. Part I describes the methods used to define the boundaries of the ranges and divides the state into meaningful landforms. Part II describes the ecological life zones and their vegetation types. Part III describes the individual mountain ranges. Each mountain range entry contains a descriptive narrative and a data summary that includes the county or counties in which the range occurs, whether the author has visited and collected plants there, the highest point, the base elevation, a brief discussion of the geology, any historic settlements or post offices located in the range, the distribution of life zones, and a list of all conifers and flowering trees. The result of over thirty years of exploration and study throughout the state, this is a long-overdue compendium of Nevada's mountains and associated flora. This book is a required reference for anyone venturing out into the Nevada wilds.

Book excerpt: Throughout the world, closely related species are found on landmasses separated by wide stretches of ocean. What explains these far-flung distributions? Why are such species found where they are across the Earth? Since the discovery of plate tectonics, scientists have conjectured that plants and animals were scattered over the globe by riding pieces of ancient supercontinents as they broke up. In the past decade, however, that theory has foundered, as the genomic revolution has made reams of new data available. And the data has revealed an extraordinary, stranger-than-fiction story that has sparked a scientific upheaval. In The Monkey's Voyage, biologist Alan de Queiroz describes the radical new view of how fragmented distributions came into being: frogs and mammals rode on rafts and icebergs, tiny spiders drifted on storm winds, and plant seeds were carried in the plumage of sea-going birds to create the map of life we see today. In other words, these organisms were not simply constrained by continental fate; they were the makers of their own geographic destiny. And as de Queiroz shows, the effects of oceanic dispersal have been crucial in generating the diversity of life on Earth, from monkeys and guinea pigs in South America to beech trees and kiwi birds in New Zealand. By toppling the idea that the slow process of continental drift is the main force behind the odd distributions of organisms, this theory highlights the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the history of life. In the tradition of John McPhee's Basin and Range, The Monkey's Voyage is a beautifully told narrative that strikingly reveals the importance of contingency in history and the nature of scientific discovery.

Each book gives context to the images by detailing the geological history of the mountains, describing the flora and fauna and relating stories from the human climbing history of these peaks. “James Martin’s words and images do the near impossible: bring the thrills of mountaineering alive in print.” -- Art Wolfe The Sierra Nevada is one of the West’s most beautiful and famous mountain ranges. Here Martin shares an intimate view of its rugged landscape, describing his own early history of hiking in the range, attending Ansel Adams-led seminars in Yosemite, and once hiking from there to Mount Whitney and on to Sequoia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Out of Door Studies in Geography, Vol. 2: The Formation of Mountain Ranges; A Study of the Sierra Nevada When these uplifts take place, it often happens that a number of folds are formed, making parallel ranges of mountains near each other. These up lifts are sometimes very complex, and along with them there is always more or less breaking of the rock strata which form the crust. Sometimes the movement has been rapid and accompanied by violent earthquakes. Where this happens, usually extensive fissures are formed on one side Of the area of disturbance, and a great block of the earth's crust shoved upward along the line of this fissure. In such a case, the mountains on that side present a steep, bold face, while the other side will be a long gentle Slope. Mountains Of this kind are known as the block type.
