图书描述

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.

主题一以贯之的洪堡传记,可看作通往洪堡著作的引子

年轻的洪堡痴迷于animal electricity的研究,用手术刀在自己的手臂和大腿上割开,撒上各种化学试剂接上电极,仔细记录下电流通过时感官体验的区别…… 和用电击shock的程度比较电流的大小的卡文迪许有的一拼。传说中的科学狂人都是历史上真实存在的啊!

关于这群人这段历史已经太熟悉,所以阅读体验相对平淡。还是觉得《丈量世界》中,把洪堡和高斯的人生故事交织呼应起来的写法更加别出心裁一些。这本也算是格局开阔,细节丰富,但是关于洪堡“发现”的“自然”,总体还是抒情大于阐述。欲知详情如何,要把Personal Narrative找来看看才行。嗯。

文/宝木笑 “那么多种声音都在告诉我们,自然中的一切都在呼吸。” ——亚历山大•冯•洪堡 上面的话是刚过而立之年的亚历山大•冯•洪堡在南美洲的雨林中写下的,那段时间他和他的伙伴险象环生,睡觉时会有蛇盘踞在垫子下面,也许还有美洲豹毛茸茸的利爪慢慢伸来,搜...

非常精彩的传记,不只是关于洪堡的故事,更是洪堡与他同时代的人们共同的故事。倾情于自然的灵魂总是相互吸引。 洪堡生活的时代,正值工业革命兴起,科学蓬勃发展,这也是浪漫主义诗人柯勒律治哀叹“割裂与分离的时代”,人们正在丧失“关联万物的理解力”。 柯勒律治认为:问...
