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

3.0

I really didn't know much about Humboldt before reading this book. But he seems like a really cool guy who had a huge influence on other scientists, writers, politicians and artists. He was one of the last people who really knew a lot about many subjects before it became more difficult to do that, as it is today.
