具体描述

ANDREA WULF was born in India and moved to Germany as a child. She lives in London, where she trained as a design historian at the Royal College of Art. She is the author of Chasing Venus, Founding Gardeners, and The Brother Gardeners, which was long-listed for the Samuel Johnson Prize and awarded the American Horticultural Society Book Award. She has written for The New York Times, the Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the Los Angeles Times. She appears regularly on radio and TV, and in 2014 copresented British Gardens in Time, a four-part series on BBC television.

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.

Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) was an intrepid explorer and the most famous scientist of his age. In North America, his name still graces four counties, thirteen towns, a river, parks, bays, lakes, and mountains. His restless life was packed with adventure and discovery, whether he was climbing the highest volcanoes in the world or racing through anthrax-infected Siberia or translating his research into bestselling publications that changed science and thinking. Among Humboldt’s most revolutionary ideas was a radical vision of nature, that it is a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone.

Now Andrea Wulf brings the man and his achievements back into focus: his daring expeditions and investigation of wild environments around the world and his discoveries of similarities between climate and vegetation zones on different continents. She also discusses his prediction of human-induced climate change, his remarkable ability to fashion poetic narrative out of scientific observation, and his relationships with iconic figures such as Simón Bolívar and Thomas Jefferson. Wulf examines how Humboldt’s writings inspired other naturalists and poets such as Darwin, Wordsworth, and Goethe, and she makes the compelling case that it was Humboldt’s influence that led John Muir to his ideas of natural preservation and that shaped Thoreau’s Walden.

With this brilliantly researched and compellingly written book, Andrea Wulf shows the myriad fundamental ways in which Humboldt created our understanding of the natural world, and she champions a renewed interest in this vital and lost player in environmental history and science.

##引起我注意的是这本书的封面和书名,精美的封面加上《创造自然》这个书名,让我以为这是一本满是插图的博物学笔记,我刚买了一本《地球之美》,这书里用文字和图画逐一介绍地球知识,非常漂亮,也非常有意思,我以为《创造自然》是这样一本书。 没想到这是一个人的传记。 而且...

洪堡是西方近现代最后一位通才,兴趣广泛笔耕不辍,他的热血都献给了冒险和研究。作者聪明之处在于行文贯彻了主人公所信奉的整体论和万物互联的观点,所以这本书不仅仅回顾了这位德国博学家的传奇一生(在正文三分之二的地方洪堡就死了),还穿插着他对前辈(歌德)、同辈人(例如玻利瓦尔)和后来者(例如达尔文、梭罗、约翰·缪尔)的深远影响。作者对于洪堡的性取向处理相对模糊,但从给出的信息来分析,应该是柏拉图式的同性恋者或是精神偏好男性的无性恋者。
