The Invention of Nature: Alexander Von Humboldt's New World by Andrea Wulf

5.0

An amazing trip through Humboldt's life and views on politics and nature that uncovers and incredible work that spans over fifty years. The book continues by uncovering the ripples and influences of Humboldt's work (Darwin, Ernst Haeckel or John Muir among them).

Truly fascinating life, work and views of an often forgotten capital name in sciences.
