About the author

Alexander von Humboldt

1769–1859

An explorer, naturalist, and brilliant connector of ideas, he helped people see nature as one living system rather than a collection of separate facts. His travels through Latin America and his sweeping books inspired generations of scientists, writers, and environmental thinkers.
