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.

如何让一个人“永存”不朽?把他名字写进书本,把他姓名作为物理量名称,举办他的姓名的各类庆祝活动,给他立雕像塑料铜像蜡像,保存着他的遗体?人们想过很多办法,偶尔一部分人了解真正“永存”的,只有把思想带给后人。而洪堡做到了,科学时代最后一个百科全书式的人物。 1...

##洪堡的传记帮助我们了解为什么他曾被称为大洪水后最伟大的人物,为什么在19世纪初的欧洲他是仅次于拿破仑最有影响力的人。他改变了欧洲看待自然的观念,深深影响了后代的人们观察研究自然的方式。这是一次“理解我们今天为何如此思考自然的旅程”。

##串了历史故事的人物传记。Muir似乎很会写。to going out, I found out, was really going in.

##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...

##百科全书式学者的消失并不是偶然的,自然科学的演化已经超越了观察和经验所及,所以洪堡本人也算是最后之人吧。作者花了很多笔墨描写洪堡的社交圈和影响力,大概也是想强调洪堡的个例性,最后200页的索引真心佩服。下一步要把Cosmos找出来读读。

##Knowledge does not chill the feelings because the senses and the intellect are connected.

##12.5-12| more than a biography or what a biography should be like with TR and national parks introduced at the end of the book the lives of these beautiful men of nature are tied together accounts of vulnerability in biographies are especially touching reading of noble human beings leaves a cynical reader in serious inner conflict
