By March of 2001, the all-new 4th Edition of Michael R. Kelsey's book, Climber's and Hiker's Guide to the World's Mountains and Volcanos, will be ready for sale (for this editon, the words "and Volcanos" has been added for the first time). This book first came out in 1981, but had only 680 pages and no pictures. This 4th Edition has 1248 pages, 584 mapped areas, 650 B+W fotos.
For this edition, and since 1991, the author spent 2 summers, or about 7 months traveling Russian-speaking areas of Central Asia, Russia, the Kavkazian (Caucasus) Republics, and eastern Europe; also another 4 months in east and southern Africa, including 5 islands east of Africa in the Indian Ocean. He also returned to the Caribbean twice, once going to northern South America, plus 2 full months in Indonesia, 2 months in the central Pacific, a month in the Philippines and another month in Japan, 2 months in northeast Africa and the Arabian countries of Oman & Yemen, 1 1/2 months in Southeast Asia, about 4 months going to the eastern USA, Mexico and Canada & Alaska, and another month in Mexico & Central America. While on these travels he made the decision to go after as many active or "live" volcanos as possible. The reason for this is, everyone enjoys a close look at, and the exilerating experience of a real live, belching, rumbling, snorting, smoking or quaking volcano.
To the author's knowledge, this is the only book around that is a climbing guide to volcanos and/or the volcanos of the world. On maps featuring a volcano, a paragraph on its eruptive history is included, along with how to get there, how long it will take to climb, something about transportation & hotels, where water and campsites are, etc, etc.
The author has now traveled to 223 countries, republics, islands or island groups, and has personally visited, been close to, and/or has climbed a mountain on more than 91% of the total mapped areas in this new 4th Editon.

Hiker and Climber Guide to the World Mountains and Volcanos 4th Edition Michael R Kelsey 9780944510186 Books Reviews
- Fair price and nice update, Would definitely recommend!
- I did not have any problems with the book. It arrived in mint condition like brand new. I only paid $0.75 for the book itself and 4 dollars for the shipping and handling. It was used book but I could have been easily fooled because when I opened the package the book was in wonderful even nearly perfect condition and it only cost me $5 dollars for it. Worth the buy.
- Kelsey, the man the myth.
This guy is my hero, he's a good guy, well traveled and well educated.
The guy is in his seventies and continues to out hike people in their 20's.
His books are a must for anyone who hikes, backpacks, canyoneers that lives on/around the Colorado Plateau or abroad.
It's going to suck when he's gone. - Alles Bestens. Das Buch kam sehr schnell und wie beschrieben. Ich würde hier immer wieder was kaufen. Nun zum Buch Das Buch bietet steckbriefartig einen kurzen aber guten Überblick über die einzelnen beschriebenen Berge und Vulkane.
- Since this book covers the entire world, each mountain route is not descibed in detail, but this book is truely amazing. There is no other more comprihensive guidebook out there and this book may be one of the all time classics of any guidebook out there.
- A very usefull mountain guide (just a little bit to big for travelling with!!!). Some description is not very recent...
