The Invention of Nature

Alexander Von Humboldt's New World
Sep 16, 2017Tarheeljb42 rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
This was the second book I read on Alexander von Humboldt (The Humbolt Current) and it was by far one of the best historical biographies I've ever read. An inspiring book that touches on the life of one of the most influential people the world over during a time when few men and women were known outside of their country or field of work. If you want to know the origins of the environmental movement prior to the 20th century, look no further.
