Mountains in Bolivia

Rating:
Summary: Climbing mountains for fun
Review: This book is a great pleasure to read. It describes the adventures of a mountain climber in the Bolivian Andes. The author is a physicist and writer who worked for years high up in the Bolivian mountains building a physics research facility doing experiments on cosmic rays, building a skiing station nearby the physics research center, training the first Bolivian Olympic skiing team, climbing many mountains, and exploring many aspects of Bolivia (e.g., casinos, university life, national politics, insurrections, revolutions, life in the mountains, city life, etc.) with great curiosity, passion, intensity and fun. Indeed, his books are great fun to read and communicate to the readers his zest for life, wonderful adventures, and interesting observations about living in Bolivia. The author has also produced very beautiful photographs of Bolivian mountains and has vividly described the wonders of living in the mountains, skiing them, and specially climbing them. Indeed, this book is devoted to his (sometimes dangerous) explorations and climbings of the Bolivian Andes. The author escaped the war in Europe, worked for years in Bolivia, earned a physics doctorate in Paris, and became professor of physics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. He is also a writer (and photographer) with a keen sense for unraveling the joys of life. My wife and myself cherished reading his books.
