Checking Availibility...Description
Sid Marty, the bestselling author of "Men for the Mountains" and "Leaning on the Wind", returns in these pages to the land he loves, where cliffs and glaciers rule the horizon and weather changes without warning. In affectionate portraits of people and creatures, and indicting anecdotes of public policy, he examines the potentially dangerous terrain where humans and wildlife meet, and where bureaucracy threatens the integrity of the mountain wilderness.

Reviews
"In prose as clear as the mountain air, Marty relates one marvellous story after another, drawing on his more than 25 years experience in the Rocky Mountains."
-National Post
"Marty's artistry is such that the stories in Switchbacks seem to have emerged from the mountains themselves....Some chapters will have your adrenalin coursing and your heart pounding; one or two others may make you weep. All of them will thrill you with the concrete vitality of landscape and language."
-Globe and Mail
