Volcanoes and Crowds -- Epilogue. 330 2 $a"Over the past 150 years, people have flocked to the Pacific Northwest in increasing numbers, in part due to the region's beauty and one of its most exceptional features: volcanoes. This segment of the Pacific Ring of Fire has shaped not only the physical landscape of the region but also the psychological landscape, and with it the narratives we compose about ourselves. Exceptional Mountains is a cultural history of the Northwest volcanoes and the environmental impact of outdoor recreation in this region. It probes the relationship between these volcanoes and regional identity, particularly in the era of mass mountaineering and population growth in the Northwest. O. Alan Weltzien demonstrates how mountaineering is but one conspicuous example of the outdoor recreation industry's unrestricted and problematic growth. He explores the implications of our assumptions that there are no limits to our outdoor recreation habits and that access to the highest mountains should include amenities for affluent consumers. Each chapter probes the mountain-based regional ethos and the concomitant sense of privilege and entitlement from different vantages to illuminate the consumerist mind-set as a reductive--and deeply problematic--version of experience and identity in and around some of the nation's most striking mountains"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aVolcanoes$xSocial aspects$zNorthwest, Pacific$xHistory 606 $aMountains$xSocial aspects$zNorthwest, Pacific$xHistory 606 $aRegionalism$zNorthwest, Pacific$xHistory 606 $aOutdoor recreation$xEnvironmental aspects$zNorthwest, Pacific$xHistory 606 $aMountaineering$xEnvironmental aspects$zNorthwest, Pacific$xHistory 606 $aConsumers$zNorthwest, Pacific$xPsychology$xHistory 606 $aNature$xEffect of human beings on$zNorthwest, Pacific$xHistory 606 $aEnvironmental policy$zNorthwest, Pacific$xHistory 607 $aNorthwest, Pacific$xGeography 607 $aNorthwest, Pacific$xEnvironmental conditions 615 0$aVolcanoes$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aMountains$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aRegionalism$xHistory. 615 0$aOutdoor recreation$xEnvironmental aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aMountaineering$xEnvironmental aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aConsumers$xPsychology$xHistory. 615 0$aNature$xEffect of human beings on$xHistory. 615 0$aEnvironmental policy$xHistory. 676 $a917.95 686 $aHIS036110$aNAT041000$aSPO029000$2bisacsh 700 $aWeltzien$b O.
