Part natural history, part poetry, Mountains of the Heart is full of
hidden gems and less traveled parts of the Appalachian Mountains
Stretching almost unbroken from Alabama to Belle Isle, Newfoundland, the
Appalachians are one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. In
Mountains of the Heart, renowned author and avid naturalist Scott
Weidensaul shows how geology, ecology, climate, evolution, and 500
million years of history have shaped one of the continent's greatest
landscapes into an ecosystem of unmatched beauty. This edition
celebrates the book's 20th anniversary of publication and includes a new
foreword from the author.
