About the authors

Alexander von Humboldt

1769–1859

A restless explorer and brilliant observer, he helped people see nature as one connected whole. His travels in Latin America and his sweeping book Kosmos made him one of the most influential scientific writers of the 19th century.

Aimé Bonpland

1773–1858

A French botanist and explorer, he is best remembered for the groundbreaking expedition he made with Alexander von Humboldt through Latin America at the turn of the 19th century. His plant collecting and scientific work helped expand Europe’s understanding of the natural world.
