  • The Summits of Modern Man: Mountaineering After the Enlightenment (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2013)
    Bibliography Peter H. Hansen, The Summits of Modern Man: Mountaineering after the Enlightenment (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2013) This bibliography consists of works cited in The Summits of Modern Man along with a few references to citations that were cut during editing. It does not include archival sources, which are cited in the notes. A bibliography of works consulted (printed or archival) would be even longer and more cumbersome. The print and ebook editions of The Summits of Modern Man do not include a bibliography in accordance with Harvard University Press conventions. Instead, this online bibliography provides links to online resources. For books, Worldcat opens the collections of thousands of libraries and Harvard HOLLIS records often provide richer bibliographical detail. For articles, entries include Digital Object Identifiers (doi) or stable links to online editions when available. Some older journals or newspapers have excellent, freely-available online archives (for examples, see Journal de Genève, Gazette de Lausanne, or La Stampa, and Gallica for French newspapers or ANNO for Austrian newspapers). Many publications still require personal or institutional subscriptions to databases such as LexisNexis or Factiva for access to back issues, and those were essential resources. Similarly, many newspapers or books otherwise in the public domain can be found in subscription databases. This bibliography avoids links to such databases except when unavoidable (such as JSTOR or the publishers of many scholarly journals). Where possible, entries include links to full-text in freely-accessible resources such as Europeana, Gallica, Google Books, Hathi Trust, Internet Archive, World Digital Library, or similar digital libraries and archives.

  • Erläuterungen Zur Geologischen Karte Von Österreich Und Seinen Nachbargebieten
    Hermann Vetters Erläuterungen zur Geologischen Karte von Österreichund seinen Nachbargebieten (Eine stratigraphisch-petrographische übersieht) Erläuterungen zur Geologischen Karte von Österreich und seinen Nachbargebieten Die Formationen und Gesteine der Ostalpen und Vorlande und der angrenzenden Teile der Fränkisch-Schwäbischen Alb, des Böhmischen Massivs, der Karpathen und des Karstes Von Hermann Vetters Wien 1937 Herausgegeben von der Geologischen Bundesanstalt - Wien 111. Österreichische Slaatsdruckcrei. 9143 36 Zum Geleit! Mit der Fertigstellung .ßieser Erläuterungen ist das große Werk der Übersichtskarte von Osterreich erst wirklich vollendet und all­ gemein zugänglich geworden. Vieles, was die Karte in Linien und Farben nicht mehr auszudrücken vermag, hat hier nun seine Beantwortung und seine Begrenzung ge:.. funde11. Für eine Übersichtskarte vom kleinen Maßstab 1: 500.000 bedeuten die Erläuterungen aber noch mehr als eine Erklärung der vielen Aus­ scheidungen. Sie bringen für viele und wichtige Teile der Karte geradezu eine starke Vergrößerung des Kartenbildes hervor und werfen so einen hellen, erklärenden Schein darüber. Bei dem großen Umfang des Gebietes, seiner reichen äußeren und inneren Gliederung und bei dem höchst ungleichen Stand der Bearbeitung war die Herausgabe der Übersichtskarte eine besonders schwierige, eine kühne und eine vielfach undankbare Unternehmung. Die Schwierigkeiten des Erläuterungsbuches sind andere, aber vielfach nicht geringere gewesen. Hier galt es vor allem, aus der riesigen Literatur sowie der eigenen Erfahrung jene Beiträge auszuwählen, die für die Benutzung der Karte wertvoll und führend sind. Dies ist in erster Linie bei einer größeren Verbreitung der Karte wichtig, die auch auf Kreise der Bevölkerung übergreifen soll, die bisher der Geologie ferngestanden sind. Für diese mit a1len Kräften anzustrebende Verbreitung der Über­ sichtskarte spielen aber gerade die Erläuterungen die entseheidende Rolle, ohne welche die Karte für Laien nur ein schönes, aber unverständ­ liches Farbenspiel bleibt.

Alla mia famiglia, che mi ha supportato in tutti i miei 19 anni di carriera scolastica, permettendomi di raggiungere con successo questo traguardo. A Francesca che mi ha regalato la sua presenza nei momenti peggiori e in quelli migliori, riuscendo ad offrirmi sempre il suo affetto, con gioia e serenità. Ai tutti miei zii, in particolare Ivana e Roberto per aver sempre avuto parole di conforto e sostegno, nei momenti difficili, e a Mabel per avermi aiutato ad affrontare le prime difficoltà nel mio cammino scolastico ed avermi indirizzato a questa strada con il suo esempio. A Nicola, che ha creduto in me, spronandomi a dare sempre di più, permettendomi così di portare a termine questo lavoro di tesi aiutandomi anche nella sua stesura e revisione, senza mai mancare negare un sorriso; per avermi inoltre permesso ottime esperienze, negli ambiti più disparati. A Giulia, che in tutti questi anni si è confidata e confrontata con me, dando origine ad una grande amicizia.

This gives two Basic Sections of very unequal dimensions, but the ., Alps being of natural origin cannot be expected to fall into more or less equal com­ partments.

  • La Maison Des Guides
    Tekst en foto's Mark Sebille La maison des guides 28 Een populaire kunstvorm in de negentiende en twintigste eeuw in de Alpen is de trompe l’oeil. Het woord betekent letterlijk gezichtsbedrog en tracht een illusie zò realistisch weer te geven waardoor ze echt lijkt. Zo leeft een blinde muur plots op door een landschap te worden. Of een interieur wordt ineens opgewaardeerd door een nepvenster dat bijvoorbeeld uitzicht geeft op de Matterhorn. In de Rue du Docteur Paccard in Chamonix, verschijnt in 2010 plots de vallei. Rechts van het klimtouw staat Louis Lachenal, in 1950 de een geheel nieuw gidsenkantoor dat twintig historische figuren weer eerste man op een achtduizender en Lionel Terray.
