[ 5.0 stars ] "The way we experience reality is full of symbols, another form of reality. MacFarlane is at home in both worlds, and he can articulate his experiences well.

In this book we are treated to a fascinating demonstration of this idea with regard to western and British notions of mountains and mountain climbing over the last 4 centuries.
