Here comes perhaps the most beautiful book of recent years!

It is probably the most beautiful book that has been published in recent years. The Alpine book consists of 280 pages of lovingly prepared infographics, from climate to cuisine. The topic of mountain biking is also included, but it is the sheer abundance that is relevant. The book belongs in every discerning living room.

Books are no longer just an information or entertainment medium. Today, books are as much a part of the interior as a nice sofa or an attractive dining table. And one of these books has recently rattled through the printer's rollers. "Das Alpenbuch" by Lara Bragin, Stefan Spiegel, Tobias Weber and Björn Köcher is one of the most unusual and unusual titles to have made it into bookshops. It explores the Alps in all possible facets, but does not contain a single picture - only graphics. It is an orgasmic experience in terms of infographics.

Thematically, the book ranges from geography to flora & fauna, climate & environment, Alpinisums, mountain sports, society & science to art & culture. The topic of mountain biking is also covered on a double page, which should be enough. If you want to find out more about mountain biking, there are other publications available. What is interesting is the breadth of the title and the loving realization.

The Alpine Book is not a title that you buy and then read through. It is a book that you look at again and again over the years and always find something new. An interior that is always in your living room and always delivers new surprises. Or makes a good impression on your next visit.

The foreword to the book sums it up perfectly: "This book is for those whose heart beats faster when they see the mountains on the horizon, for those for whom the Alps are a way of life. For those who get up at three o'clock in the morning to watch the sunrise from the summit, and for those who have never been to the summit but love its beauty. For us, the Alps are one thing: a mighty mountain range that knows no national borders, transcends cultural identities and is a habitat for people, animals and plants. Since 2015, we have been working as Marmota Maps to depict the Alps, especially on large, informative Alpine maps. We want to show the Alps in all their diversity and understand the background of the people who live in or love the Alps. This book is therefore the logical step for us to provide you, dear reader, with as much knowledge as possible about the Alps. Through entertaining reading and browsing, with lots of graphics, maps, illustrations and short, concise texts. So that we can enjoy getting to know the Alps even better together."
