Book excerpt: A titanic figure in the scientific community, Alexander von Humboldt's contribution in the realms of geography, botany and philosophy cannot be overstated. Born in Berlin in 1769, the son of a Prussian minister, he traveled in four continents, wrote at least 36 books and 25,000 letters throughout his long and adventurous life. Known to sleep just four hours a night, and down coffee by the pint, Humboldt's boundless energy and enthusiasm were at times invigorating, at times trying for his travel companions. Yet so great were his contributions viewed that he has numerous plants, animals, geological features, astronomical features, schools and places named after him to this day. His approach to scientific exploration and observation inspired other notables such as Charles Darwin, Henry David Thoreau and John Muir.In Volume 1 of his Personal Narrative, Humboldt offers a firsthand account of histravels with French explorer and botanist Aimé Bonpland in the Americas."The most dangerous worldviews are the worldviews of those who have never viewed the world."― Alexander von Humboldt

Download or read book Essay on the Geography of Plants written by Alexander von Humboldt and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legacy of Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) looms large over the natural sciences. His 1799–1804 research expedition to Central and South America with botanist Aimé Bonpland set the course for the great scientific surveys of the nineteenth century, and inspired such essayists and artists as Emerson, Goethe, Thoreau, Poe, and Church. The chronicles of the expedition were published in Paris after Humboldt’s return, and first among them was the 1807 “Essay on the Geography of Plants.” Among the most cited writings in natural history, after the works of Darwin and Wallace, this work appears here for the first time in a complete English-language translation. Covering far more than its title implies, it represents the first articulation of an integrative “science of the earth, ” encompassing most of today’s environmental sciences. Ecologist Stephen T. Jackson introduces the treatise and explains its enduring significance two centuries after its publication.
