Book Synopsis Life of Alexander Von Humboldt, Vol. I (in Two Volumes) by : Julius Lowenberg
Download or read book Life of Alexander Von Humboldt, Vol. I (in Two Volumes) written by Julius Lowenberg and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Darwin called him "the greatest traveling scientist who ever lived." Thomas Jefferson considered him "the most important scientist whom I have met." He was German naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), and when he died, the entire Western world mourned the loss of one of the most notable scientists and popularizers of science of his day. His five-volume masterwork, Kosmos, sought to unify humanity's understanding of the natural world in the mid 19th century, and brought a modern understanding of science to lay audiences for the first time. This was the first comprehensive biography of the man and his work, written to celebrate the centenary of his birth by German authors ALFRED DOVE (1844-1916), JULIUS L WENBERG (1800-1893), and ROBERT AV -LALLEMANT (1812-1884)-the latter himself an explorer-and first published in English 1873. Though its subject was a private man about whom some things shall never be known-he burned much of his personal correspondence-these two volumes draw on firsthand memories, von Humboldt's writings, and other primary sources to create a dazzlingly engrossing portrait of the man who built the foundations of modern science. Volume I covers von Humboldt's youth and young adulthood-from the significance of his name to his schooling and university years to his first employment in the mining industry-through his first travels in Russia and the New World, including his expedition to the Orinoco, his visit to Cuba, and his explorations in Mexico.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Alexander Von Humboldt, Vol. 1 of 2: Compiled in Commemoration of the Centenary of His Birth The need experienced in Germany of an adequate biography of Alexander von Humboldt has perhaps been felt with scarcely less urgency in this country: and there is therefore every reason to hope that this attempt to place before the world in a true light the life and labours of the Author of Cosmos, ' will meet in England with a welcome no less cordial than that which has been granted to the work in its original form. In preparing this biography for English readers, it has been deemed advisable to omit the third volume, devoted to a critical investigation of Humboldt's scientific labours, since these are given with sufficient minuteness for the general reader in the biographical portion; nor has it been thought desirable to include the last'. Section of the second volume, consisting of an elaborate catalogue of his voluminous works. With these exceptions, the omissions consist only of official documents and some passages of purely local interest. In rendering quotations from Faust, ' the translators have followed the metrical version of Mr. Bayard Taylor. The thermometric readings are given according to Fahrenheit's scale. The notes within brackets have been added by the translators. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The Invention of Nature by : Andrea Wulf
Download or read book The Invention of Nature written by Andrea Wulf and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The acclaimed author of Founding Gardeners reveals the forgotten life of Alexander von Humboldt, the visionary German naturalist whose ideas changed the way we see the natural world—and in the process created modern environmentalism. "Vivid and exciting.... Wulf’s pulsating account brings this dazzling figure back into a dazzling, much-deserved focus.” —The Boston Globe Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was the most famous scientist of his age, a visionary German naturalist and polymath whose discoveries forever changed the way we understand the natural world. Among his most revolutionary ideas was a radical conception of nature as a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone. In North America, Humboldt’s name still graces towns, counties, parks, bays, lakes, mountains, and a river. And yet the man has been all but forgotten. In this illuminating biography, Andrea Wulf brings Humboldt’s extraordinary life back into focus: his prediction of human-induced climate change; his daring expeditions to the highest peaks of South America and to the anthrax-infected steppes of Siberia; his relationships with iconic figures, including Simón Bolívar and Thomas Jefferson; and the lasting influence of his writings on Darwin, Wordsworth, Goethe, Muir, Thoreau, and many others. Brilliantly researched and stunningly written, The Invention of Nature reveals the myriad ways in which Humboldt’s ideas form the foundation of modern environmentalism—and reminds us why they are as prescient and vital as ever.
