In 1948, a year before the publication of Aldo Leopold\u2019s <em>A Sand County Almanac<\/em>, Nicholson gave a series of lectures on how mountains had been the subject of diametrically opposed emotions. <em>Mountain Gloom and Mountain Glory<\/em> documented these transitions in the perception of English poets throughout the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. Among them, the work of Thomas Burnet (1635\u20131715) aroused particular interest due to his posing paradoxically contrasting reflections on the mountains, oscillating between outspoken denigrating criticism\u2014describing mountains as \u2018nature\u2019s rubbish\u2019\u2014to moments of their great aesthetic exaltation. Walks across the Alps always stirred a sense of awe in him and indeed one of the sublime, standing before the spectacular magnificence of those mountain peaks that seem to touch the sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pensarecomeunamontagna.gamec.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/GAMeC_Thinking-Like-a-Mountain_Supplement_Giulia-Rispoli.pdf\">Download the complete pdf<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nome Cognome Qualifica \/ Area di lavoro<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2595,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-supplement"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.5 -
