The book takes its title from a line by the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins and combines history with first-person narrative. He considers why people are drawn to mountains despite their obvious dangers, and examines the powerful and sometimes fatal hold that mountains can come to have over the imagination. The book's heroes include the mountaineer George Mallory, and its influences include the writing of Simon Schama and Francis Spufford.[1] In the end, Macfarlane criticizes Mallory for devoting more time to the mountain than his wife and notes that he has personally sworn off high-risk mountaineering. The New York Times's John Rothchild praised the book, writing "There's fascinating stuff here, and a clever premise, but Mountains of the Mind may cause recovering climbaholics to trace their addiction to their early homework assignments and file class-action lawsuits against their poetry teachers."[2] "Mountains of the Mind" won the Guardian First Book Award and the Somerset Maugham Award.[3][4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cabinetmagazine.org/issues/27/dillon.php|title= O Altitudo!: An Interview with Robert Macfarlane|work=Cabinet Magazine=|accessdate= July 4, 2018}} {{travel-book-stub}}2. ^{{cite news |last1=Rothchild |first1=John |title=Fatal Attraction |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2003/07/13/books/fatal-attraction.html |accessdate=July 4, 2018 |work=New York Times |date=July 13, 2018}} 3. ^{{cite news |url= https://www.theguardian.com/uk/2003/dec/05/books.guardianfirstbookaward2003 |first=John |last=Ezard |work=The Guardian |title=Mountain man wins Guardian book prize |date=December 5, 2003 |accessdate=July 4, 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web |title=Previous winners of the Somerset Maugham Awards |url=https://www.societyofauthors.org/Prizes/Fiction/Somerset-Maugham/Past-winners |website=The Society of Authors |accessdate=July 4, 2018}} 4 : British travel books|2003 non-fiction books|English non-fiction books|Mountaineering books |
