Excerpt from Mountain and Moorland The purpose of this little book is simple enough, but difficult of achievement. It is meant to interest in telligent people, holidayers included, in what is to be seen and enjoyed, enquired into and understood, in the wonderful Aladdin's Cave of the Mountains and Moorland. There is no risk of interfering with rest and recreation in getting interested in such subjects as mountain-making or peat-making, the secret of the heather, or the different ways of meeting the severe winter on the hillsides. The fact is that people who do not at least nibble at the endless brain-stretching, but not vexatious, problems which their surroundings present are miss ing a good deal both of the meaning and the fun of life. One of the difficulties, we believe, in the way of those who are organically interested in the world without is to make a start; and one of the objects of our simple studies is to supply the requisite introduc tion and a jumping-off place for individual investi gations. Each of our chapters may serve as a centre around which personal information will gather and crystallise, till the centre is hidden. References here and there to books may be of use as guide-posts to further adventures in the unending endeavour to understand our environment.
