Searle walks the reader through the development and geology of the Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges in technical but not overly-wrought language. The goal here is impart both a knowledge of geology and a healthy respect for the forces and science involved. The illustrations included are plentiful, wonderous, and extraordinarily educational. While nothing can take the place of actually being there, the pictures do give a sense of the grandeur of the mountains. The book is written from a first-person perspective, which is a little weird for a textbook, but it works well if you want novice learners to feel engaged with the science. There is a ton of geological knowledge here and at times I was a little lost, but I did a general feel for the field and how massive mountains ranges are formed. A dense but rewarding book. ( )
