ECHOES FROM THE SUMMIT: Writings and Photographs...

ECHOES FROM THE SUMMIT: Writings and Photographs edited by Paul Schullery (Harcourt Brace/Tehabi: $19.95, 100 pp., paperback original). The first entries in the new series, “The Wilderness Experience,” combine dramatically beautiful photographs with excerpts from various nature writers, from Muir and Thoreau to Rick Bass and Wallace Stegner. “Echoes” focuses on the mountains of North America, with pictures that showcase the contrast between rugged exposed rock and lush forests. Other volumes in the series include “Lure of the Sea” and “Call of the River.”
