This month's pick is Not Without Peril: 150 Years of Misadventure on the Presidential Range of New Hampshire, by Nicolas C. Howe.

Among the most dangerous mountains in the world, Mount Washington has challenged adventurers for centuries with its severe weather.

From the days when gentlefolk ascended the heights in hoop skirts and wool suits to today's high-tech assaults on wintry summits, this book offers extensive and intimate profiles of people who found trouble on New Hampshire's Presidential Range, from the nineteenth century through present day.

Veteran journalist Nicholas Howe draws on his investigative skills and familiarity with the mountains of his childhood to create this gripping collection.
