520    "From the New York Times bestselling author of The 
       Invention of Nature, comes a breathtakingly illustrated 
       and brilliantly evocative recounting of Alexander Von 
       Humboldt's five year expedition in South America. 
       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 passions"--|cProvided by publisher.
