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

4.0

I have no idea how this book ended up in my library queue. I'd never heard of Humboldt. I'd never really considered how mankind has come to see the natural world as a functioning ecosystem. Now I know about both and my understanding of natural history and of nature will never be the same. I must thank the fortuitous filing mistake that led me to read this charming book.
