Alpine Ski-ing at all Heights and Seasons. By Arnold Lunn.
(Methuen. 5s. net.)This is a practical little book by an expert who knows the Alps well at all seasons of the year. He gives two interesting chapters to " Snoweraft " and " Avalanches," and then discusses the use of ski in spring, summer and winter. He recommends climbers to make more use of ski, which at any rate simplify and shorten a long and tedious descent. The book is well illustrated with photographs.—Uniform with this little book is another, Switzerland in Winter, by Will and Carine Cadby (same publishers, 4s. net), which contains useful notes on the chief tourist resorts, on winter sports, on the care of the health under novel conditions, and so forth. The closing chapter in praise of the frank and friendly Swiss is to be commended.
