Edwin Bernbaum~an Asian Studies scholar, climber, and lecturer~has written an authoritative volume that explores the power and mystery of sacred mountains, revealing how, even today, in secular, modern times, mountains are regarded as embodiments of humanity's highest ideals and aspirations. Interspersed with the richly informative narrative are insightful quotations from great literary and religious works and the journals of famous mountaineers and religious leaders~from the writings of Confucius to the poetry of Wordsworth and Yeats, from Dante's Divine Comedy to Maurice Herzog' s classic mountaineering saga Annapurna. The book's handsome photographs include stunning images of the world's most sacred peaks, as well as pictures of temples, ceremonies, and the people who revere these mountains. Reproductions of paintings and prints by Raphael, Hokusai, and Cezanne attest to the mystery and splendor of mountains, as do photographs of elegant Chinese landscape paintings, folk art, and sculptures. Bernbaum has divided Sacred Mountains of the World into two parts. Part One is a journey to some of the world's most venerated peaks, with chapters on the Himalayas, China, Central Asia, Japan, South and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, Africa, North America, Latin America, and Oceania. Each chapter presents the history, myths, cultures, and religions of a region as they relate to particular sacred mountains, including Mount Everest, Mount Fuji, Mount Olympus and Mont Blanc, Mounts Sinai and Zion, Kilimanjaro, Denali, mount Rainier, Ayers Rock, and Kilauea. Par Two explores the power and mystery of mountains. There is rich symbolism associated with sacred mountains, which have been viewed as heavens hells, gods, demons, tombs, pillars supporting the world, and divine sources of life. Bernbaum discusses this symbolism, as well as mountain metaphors and themes in literature and art. Finally, he turns to contemporary times, analyzing the spiritual dimension of mountaineering and emphasizing the need to preserve all wilderness environments. Most importantly, Bernbaum reminds us that what we seek on the world's highest and most remote peaks can be found close to home~that mountains can help us regain the fresh vision and wonder of a child, awakening us to a deeper reality inherent in the world around us.…

Written from the perspective of both a scholar of comparative religion and an experienced mountaineer, the book details how various communities find ultimate meaning, awe, and identity in high-altitude environments.
