Text in Italian and English.
The fourth book in the series is devoted to the registers kept by mountain huts and hotels, and to the Fuhrerbuchs, or 'testimonials', kept by mountain guides, diaries written in a spontaneous and informal hand that conserve the tales of great mountaineers, simple hikers or day-trippers and that stand witness to a climb or holiday. (from back cover)
Yellowstone to Yukon: the journey of wildlife and art is the story of an art exhibition about conservation. Since the nineteenth century, the wild beauty and wildlife of the Yellowstone to Yukon region have inspired North Americans to behave toward nature in a generous and responsible way. This lavishly illustrated book celebrates 150 years of artistic genius and describes how art has played a central role in providing the inspiration to protect and conserve nature in one of the world's best-loved mountain regions.
