Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was een moedige ontdekkingsreiziger en de bekendste wetenschapper van zijn tijd. Hij had een grote honger naar avontuur en ontdekkingen, hij beklom de hoogste vulkaan ter wereld, reisde door Siberië, waar de bevolking aan miltvuur leed, en deed onderzoek in de meest afgelegen gebieden. Met zijn ideeën was hij zijn tijd ver vooruit. Andrea Wulf beschrijft zijn gedurfde expedities en geeft op toegankelijke wijze inzicht in zijn baanbrekende onderzoek naar de vorming van het landschap op verschillende continenten. Humboldt wist toen al dat menselijk ingrijpen effect heeft op het klimaat. Zijn gedachten werden aangescherpt door zijn vriendschappelijke relaties met Goethe en Jefferson, en vormden een inspiratiebron voor grootheden uit diverse disciplines, onder wie Darwin, Bolívar, Wordsworth en Thoreau.

WINNER OF THE 2015 COSTA BIOGRAPHY AWARD WINNER OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE 2016 'A thrilling adventure story' Bill Bryson 'Dazzling' Literary Review 'Brilliant' Sunday Express 'Extraordinary and gripping' New Scientist 'A superb biography' The Economist 'An exhilarating armchair voyage' GILES MILTON, Mail on Sunday Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) is the great lost scientist - more things are named after him than anyone else. There are towns, rivers, mountain ranges, the ocean current that runs along the South American coast, there's a penguin, a giant squid - even the Mare Humboldtianum on the moon. His colourful adventures read like something out of a Boy's Own story: Humboldt explored deep into the rainforest, climbed the world's highest volcanoes and inspired princes and presidents, scientists and poets alike. Napoleon was jealous of him; Simon Bolívar's revolution was fuelled by his ideas; Darwin set sail on the Beagle because of Humboldt; and Jules Verne's Captain Nemo owned all his many books. He simply was, as one contemporary put it, 'the greatest man since the Deluge'. Taking us on a fantastic voyage in his footsteps - racing across anthrax-infected Russia or mapping tropical rivers alive with crocodiles - Andrea Wulf shows why his life and ideas remain so important today. Humboldt predicted human-induced climate change as early as 1800, and The Invention of Nature traces his ideas as they go on to revolutionize and shape science, conservation, nature writing, politics, art and the theory of evolution. He wanted to know and understand everything and his way of thinking was so far ahead of his time that it's only coming into its own now. Alexander von Humboldt really did invent the way we see nature.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The acclaimed author of Founding Gardeners reveals the forgotten life of Alexander von Humboldt, the visionary German naturalist whose ideas changed the way we see the natural world—and in the process created modern environmentalism. "Vivid and exciting.... Wulf’s pulsating account brings this dazzling figure back into a dazzling, much-deserved focus.” —The Boston Globe Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was the most famous scientist of his age, a visionary German naturalist and polymath whose discoveries forever changed the way we understand the natural world. Among his most revolutionary ideas was a radical conception of nature as a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone. In North America, Humboldt’s name still graces towns, counties, parks, bays, lakes, mountains, and a river. And yet the man has been all but forgotten. In this illuminating biography, Andrea Wulf brings Humboldt’s extraordinary life back into focus: his prediction of human-induced climate change; his daring expeditions to the highest peaks of South America and to the anthrax-infected steppes of Siberia; his relationships with iconic figures, including Simón Bolívar and Thomas Jefferson; and the lasting influence of his writings on Darwin, Wordsworth, Goethe, Muir, Thoreau, and many others. Brilliantly researched and stunningly written, The Invention of Nature reveals the myriad ways in which Humboldt’s ideas form the foundation of modern environmentalism—and reminds us why they are as prescient and vital as ever.

Was hat Alexander von Humboldt, der vor mehr als 150 Jahren starb, mit Klimawandel und Nachhaltigkeit zu tun? Der Naturforscher und Universalgelehrte, nach dem nicht nur unzählige Straßen, Pflanzen und sogar ein »Mare« auf dem Mond benannt sind, hat wie kein anderer Wissenschaftler unser Verständnis von Natur als lebendigem Ganzen, als Kosmos, in dem vom Winzigsten bis zum Größten alles miteinander verbunden ist und dessen untrennbarer Teil wir sind, geprägt. Die Historikerin Andrea Wulf stellt in ihrem vielfach preisgekrönten – so auch mit dem Bayerischen Buchpreis 2016 – Buch Humboldts Erfindung der Natur, die er radikal neu dachte, ins Zentrum ihrer Erkundungsreise durch sein Leben und Werk. Sie folgt den Spuren des begnadeten Netzwerkers und zeigt, dass unser heutiges Wissen um die Verwundbarkeit der Erde in Humboldts Überzeugungen verwurzelt ist. Ihm heute wieder zu begegnen, mahnt uns, seine Erkenntnisse endlich zum Maßstab unseres Handelns zu machen – um unser aller Überleben willen.

Naturaliste, géographe, explorateur, Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) est le grand scientifique des Lumières. Il a donné son nom à des villes, des rivières, des chaînes de montagnes, à un courant océanique d’Amérique du Sud, à un manchot, à un calmar géant – il existe même une Mare Humboldtianum sur la Lune. Sous la plume d’Andrea Wulf, sa vie se lit comme un roman d’aventures : Humboldt a organisé des expéditions dans la forêt tropicale, escaladé les plus hauts volcans du monde et rencontré des princes et des présidents, des scientifiques et des poètes. Napoléon le jalousait ; Simón Bolívar s’est imprégné de ses idées pour mener à bien sa révolution ; Darwin a embarqué sur le Beagle à cause de lui ; et le capitaine Nemo de Jules Verne possédait tous ses livres dans sa bibliothèque. À une époque où l’on pouvait embrasser toutes les connaissances scientifiques, Humboldt n’a cessé d’arpenter le monde pour en déceler les secrets et les expliquer. En 1800 déjà, il prédisait les changements climatiques causés par l’homme. Ses idées ont révolutionné la science, la politique, l’art et la théorie de l’évolution. Grand visionnaire, amoureux du monde vivant, de ses mystères et de ses beautés, Humboldt a inventé la nature telle que nous la percevons aujourd’hui.

Als u aan de natuur denkt, waar denkt u dan aan? Bos? Bergen? Pluizige beestjes? Waar u waarschijnlijk niet aan denkt is techniek, maar hoe gek het ook klinkt: de natuur zit er vol mee. In bijna 4 miljard jaar zijn fantastische biologische oplossingen ontstaan die we kunnen gebruiken als inspiratie voor onze eigen menselijke toepassingen. Dit is precies wat bionica doet. Zo is een hogesnelheidstrein in Japan uitgerust met een efficiënte 'ijsvogelneus' en leveren botten inspiratie voor materiaalbesparing. De out-of-the-box-toepassingen kunnen technisch zijn, maar bieden ook oplossingen voor maatschappelijke uitdagingen en sociale innovatie. De natuur gebruikt efficiëntie en duurzaamheid als basis voor het voortbestaan van het leven op aarde en daar kan de mens, door goed af te kijken, nog veel van leren.

"A invenção da natureza" revela a extraordinária vida do explorador, geógrafo e naturalista alemão Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), o cientista mais conhecido de seu tempo. Com suas descobertas, fruto de expedições pelo mundo afora (escalando os vulcões mais altos do mundo, cruzando a Sibéria em plena epidemia de praga, navegando pela então ameaçadora Amazônia), gerou inveja em Napoleão Bonaparte, inspirou Simón Bolívar em sua revolução e Darwin a zarpar com seu navio Beagle. Sua história é contada neste livro de forma saborosa e profunda, partindo de uma ampla pesquisa sobre o homem que concebeu a maneira como vemos a natureza hoje. Best-seller nos Estados Unidos e na Inglaterra, e com os direitos vendidos a mais de 20 países, "A invenção da natureza" foi aclamado pela crítica e ganhou prêmios como o Costa Biography Award e o Los Angeles Times Book Prize de 2016.

La espléndida biografía de Alexander von Humboldt, el héroe perdido de la ciencia y padre de la ecología. La invención de la naturaleza revela la extraordinaria vida del visionario naturalista alemán Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) y cómo creó una nueva forma de entender la naturaleza. Humboldt fue un intrépido explorador y el científico más famoso de su época. Su agitada vida estuvo repleta de aventuras y descubrimientos: escaló los volcanes más altos del mundo, remó por el Orinoco y recorrió una Siberia infestada de ántrax. Capaz de percibir la naturaleza como una fuerza global interconectada, Humboldt descubrió similitudes entre distintas zonas climáticas de todo el mundo, y previó el peligro de un cambio climático provocado por el hombre. Convirtió la observación científica en narrativa poética, y sus escritos inspiraron no solo a naturalistas y escritores como Darwin, Wordsworth y Goethe, sino también a políticos como Jefferson o Simón Bolívar. Además, fueron las ideas de Humboldt las que llevaron a John Muir a perseverar en sus teorías, y a Thoreau a escribir su Walden. Wulf rastrea la influencia de Humboldt en las grandes mentes de su tiempo, a las que inspiró en ámbitos como la revolución, la teoría de evolución, la ecología, la conservación, el arte y la literatura. Una lectura que cobra importancia en el Día mundial del medioambiente. La invención de la naturaleza está entre los mejores libros del año según The New York Times, The Independent y Publishers Weekly entre otros. Reseñas: «Mi libro favorito con diferencia es esta increíble biografía sobre el visionario naturalista alemán cuyas ideas cambiaron nuestra manera de ver el mundo natural y que configuran la conciencia medioambiental moderna. Amigo de Goethe, influyó en Darwin, Thomas Jefferson y Bolívar. Él demostró tener una visión unitaria de la vida. Hoy nos ponemos en su piel cuando debatimos sobre cambio climático. Un pensador pasado por alto, pese a serun poderoso recordatorio de voces que advirtieron sobre sobreexplotación, contaminación y derechos humanos.» Francesca Thyssen, ABC ("30 libros para una cuarentena") «Una lectura sensacional. El estupendo nuevo libro de Andrea Wulf se atreve con la figura de Alexander von Humboldt. La invención de la naturaleza es un elogio de altísima calidad a una figura cautivadora.» Simon Winder, The Guardian «Un libro emocionante. [...] Es imposible leer La invención de la naturaleza sin contraer la fiebre Humboldt. Wulf tiene el poder de volvernos a todos humboldtianos. Por momentos se lee como literatura de aventuras, y la investigación de Wulf tiene dimensiones casi humboldtianas.» New York Review of Books «Consigue su objetivo de rescatar la reputación de Humboldt de la grieta enla que él y muchos otros escritores y científicos alemanes cayeron después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.» The Independent «Wulf demuestra que Humboldt fue un auténtico visionario, cuya perspectiva es hoy más pertinente que nunca.» Booklist «Una biografía brillantemente escrita. Como demuestra este maravilloso libro, la figura de Humboldt debería incorporarse a toda prisa en todos los programas educativos de la Tierra.» The Scotsman

A breathtakingly illustrated and brilliantly evocative recounting of Alexander Von Humboldt's five-year expedition in South America—from the author of Magnificent Rebels and the New York Times bestseller The Invention of Nature. Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was an intrepid explorer and the most famous scientist of his age. His restless life was packed with adventure and discovery, but his most revolutionary idea was a radical vision of nature as a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone. His theories and ideas were profoundly influenced by a five-year exploration of South America. Now Andrea Wulf partners with artist Lillian Melcher to bring this daring expedition to life, complete with excerpts from Humboldt's own diaries, atlases, and publications. She gives us an intimate portrait of the man who predicted human-induced climate change, fashioned poetic narrative out of scientific observation, and influenced iconic figures such as Simón Bolívar, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin, and John Muir. This gorgeous account of the expedition not only shows how Humboldt honed his groundbreaking understanding of the natural world but also illuminates the man and his passion
