      abstract = {This book is the first transnational history of rambling  and mountaineering. Focussing on the critical  turn-of-the-century era, it offers new insights into alpine  development, attitudes to danger, cultures of time,  internationalism and domesticity in the outdoors. It charts  an emerging group of mass tourist activities, and argues  that these thousands of walkers and climbers can only be  understood within the context of the urban cultures from  which most of them came. In doing so, it offers a fresh  perspective on the relationship of alpinists and  countryside enthusiasts to the modern world. Instead of an  escape from or rejection of modernity, it finds that upland  trampers and climbers contested what it meant to be modern,  used those modern identities to make political claims on  rural space and rural people, and sought to define what a  more modern future society should be like.},
