Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A new hardcover selection of the best writings of the visionary German naturalist whose ideas changed the way we see the natural world. Selected and introduced by Andrea Wulf.Alexander von Humboldt (17691859) was an intrepid explorer and the most famous scientist of his age. His life was packed with adventure and discovery, whether he was climbing volcanoes in the Andes, racing through anthrax-infected Siberia, or publishing groundbreaking bestsellers. Ahead of his time, he recognized nature as an interdependent whole and he saw before anyone else that humankind was on a path to destroy it. His visits to the Americas led him to argue that the indigenous peoples possessed ancient cultures with sophisticated languages, architecture, and art, and his expedition to Cuba prompted him to denounce slavery as the greatest evil ever to have afflicted humanity. To Humboldt, the melody of his prose was as important as its empirical content, and this selection from his most famous worksincluding Cosmos, Views of Nature, and Views of the Cordilleras and Monuments of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, among othersallows us the pleasure of reading his own accounts of his daring explorations. Humboldts writings profoundly influenced naturalists and poets including Darwin, Thoreau, Muir, Goethe, Wordsworth, and Whitman. The Selected Writings is not only a tribute to Humboldts important role in environmental history and science, but also to his ability to fashion powerfully poetic narratives out of scientific observations.

Deutsche Erstausgabe, 3. Auflage. 272 Seiten durchgängig farbig illustriert. Zustand: Sehr gut, neuwertig. - Verlagstext: Das außergewöhnlichste Buch zum Humboldt-Jahr von der Bestsellerautorin Zum 250. Geburtstag des größten deutschen Naturforschers am 14. September 2019 legt die preisgekrönte Humboldtexpertin Andrea Wulf ein farbenprächtiges, opulent illustriertes Buch über Humboldts berühmte Südamerikaexpedition (1799-1804) vor. Angeregt von seinen Tagebüchern, Kupferstichen, Skizzen, Landkarten und präparierten Pflanzen erzählt sie die Geschichte seiner Reise aus einer völlig neuen Perspektive: anhand Humboldts eigener Tagebuchaufzeichnungen, die erst vor kurzem zugänglich gemacht wurden. Die expressiven Zeichnungen der New Yorker Illustratorin Lillian Melcher fangen Szenen der Expedition ein, etwa die waghalsige Fahrt auf dem Orinoko oder die spektakuläre Besteigung des Chimborazo. »Die Abenteuer des Alexander von Humboldt« berichten von Mühsal, Gefahren, Begeisterung und Entdeckungen, aber auch von Humboldts Begegnungen mit der indigenen Bevölkerung Südamerikas und seinen Warnungen vor dem vom Menschen verursachten Klimawandel. Wissenschaft trifft Abenteuer: Jede Seite in diesem ganz besonderen Buch zum Humboldt-Jubiläumsjahr ist eine sinnliche Entdeckungsreise. »Die Abenteuer des Alexander von Humboldt ist eine Augenweide und eine Fundgrube für jeden, der sich ein Fünkchen Neugier bewahrt hat.« Denis Scheck in ARD »druckfrisch« (17. März 2019) - Ein Reisebericht als Comic ! ISBN: 9783570103500 Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 1389 4° (27,5x21,5cm), Festeinband, Halbleinen.
