O ovoj e-knjizi
Humboldts Lieblingsbuch und zugleich sein bisher erfolgreichstes: Mit den 1808 erstmals erschienenen "Ansichten der Natur" liefert Humboldt den Beweis, dass sinnliche Erfahrung der Natur und wissenschaftliche Erkenntnis kein Widerspruch sein muss. Sein Überblick der Natur im großen reicht von den Steppen und Wüsten über die Wasserfälle des Orinoco und den Bau der Vulkane bis hin zum nächtlichen Tierleben im Urwald.
O autoru
Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was a pioneering Prussian polymath whose insatiable curiosity and adventurous spirit led him to become one of the most influential scientists and thinkers of the 19th century. Born into a wealthy family in Berlin, Humboldt's early education was steeped in the Enlightenment ideals of reason and empirical observation. His groundbreaking expeditions through Latin America from 1799 to 1804, alongside botanist Aimé Bonpland, yielded a wealth of scientific data that revolutionized the fields of geography, ecology, and meteorology.Humboldt's interdisciplinary approach and holistic view of nature laid the groundwork for modern environmental science. He was one of the first to propose that the Americas and Africa were once connected, a precursor to the theory of continental drift. His meticulous observations of plant distribution led to the development of biogeography, and his studies on human-induced climate change were remarkably prescient.Controversially, Humboldt was an outspoken critic of colonialism and slavery, using his scientific reputation to advocate for social justice. His works inspired a generation of thinkers and writers, including Charles Darwin, who credited Humboldt with igniting his interest in natural history. Edgar Allan Poe and Henry David Thoreau also drew inspiration from Humboldt's vivid descriptions and philosophical musings.Humboldt's legacy is not just in his scientific contributions but in his vision of nature as an interconnected web, a concept that resonates deeply in today's era of environmental awareness. His life and work continue to inspire those who seek to understand and protect our planet.
