Mountain travellers who look forward to the challenge of recognizing distant points from lofty peaks will find a treasure in Brent Scudder's WHITE MOUNTAIN VIEWING GUIDE. Scudder, a meteorologist by training & a flight planning analyst by profession, is also an avid hiker, & likes to know what he is looking at when he enjoys the view from a high mountain. His GUIDE, evidently the fruit of years of effort with hiking boots, camera & computer includes narrative descriptions of the character of 43 summits which are within or have views of the White Mountains from Pack Monadnock in southern New Hampshire to Quebec's Mont Megantic. The special feature of the Guide, though, is the 43 line drawings of the 360 degree panorama from each of the featured peaks, highlighting distant points, their elevation & their distance. SCUDDER'S WHITE MOUNTAIN VIEWING GUIDE is obviously a real labor of love & fills a vacant niche in White Mountain guidebooks. It will certainly be much appreciated by the many hikers (& tram riders too) who want to know more about exactly what they are seeing from lofty viewpoints.
