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

5.0

Have you ever read a biography that moved you and inspired you and made you want to find the subject’s works and read them completely? If not, read this, you need it in your life.

Humboldt was the first naturalist. The first to see climate change happening. It’s a shame that we have forgotten about him and have forgotten the lessons he discovered some two hundred years ago.

Read for history. Read for inspiration. And read to see how one man changed the course of how humans saw nature.
