Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the compelling and detailed chronicle of the naturalist Alexander von Humboldt's five-year adventure in the Americas during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His journey would take him across 6,000 miles through the rainforests of the Amazon and the Andes Mountains and would forever change his life and scientific thought. As a result of his travels, Humboldt would publish numerous volumes of work on botany, geography, astronomy, zoology, and geology that would greatly expand Europeans' understanding of the natural world. In this book, readers will find not only detailed accounts of plants and animals that had never been described but also one of the first descriptions of the culture and peoples of South America. With vivid and deeply felt language, Humboldt captivates the reader with his experiences and changes how they see themselves within the natural world.
