In The Mountain, geographers Bernard Debarbieux and Gilles Rudaz trace the origins of the very concept of a mountain, showing how it is not a mere geographic feature but ultimately an idea, one that has evolved over time, influenced by changes in political climates and cultural attitudes. To truly understand mountains, they argue, we must view them not only as material realities but as social constructs, ones that can mean radically different things to different people in different settings.From the Enlightenment to the present day, and using a variety of case studies from all the continents, the authors show us how our ideas of and about mountains have changed with the times and how a wide range of policies, from border delineation to forestry as well as nature protection and social programs, have been shaped according to them. A rich hybrid analysis of geography, history, culture, and politics, the book promises to forever change the way we look at mountains.

This book has a lot of great information, but it can get pretty heavy with the details. I appreciate the effort put into the political history, yet I found myself skimming some sections. Still, a good read for history buffs!

Thorough and engaging read!
What a ride through French history! The authors did an amazing job weaving in voices from the past. I loved how they tackled complex ideas with clarity. A must for anyone looking to understand France's political evolution!

Not what I expected
I thought this would be an easy read, but the political jargon was overwhelming at times. There are some enlightening sections, but it just didn't resonate with me as I hoped. Maybe it's better suited for a more academic audience.

Incredible depth and insight!
I wasn't sure what to expect, but this book dives deep into the political landscape of France. The historical context laid out from the Enlightenment to now is just fascinating! It’s become a staple on my bookshelf for political insights.

A valuable resource for students
I bought this for my history class, and it's turned out to be incredibly useful. The timeline and connections made throughout are excellent. My only complaint is that it occasionally feels like it assumes a lot of prior knowledge.
