Have you heard of Alexander von Humboldt? Not likely. The geologist turned South American explorer was a bit of an 18th century super scientist, traveling over 24,000 miles to understand the relationship between nature and habitat. George Mehler details Humboldt's major accomplishments and why we should care about them today.
Lesson by George Mehler, animation by Flaming Medusa Studios Inc.
In this video, Andrea Wulf speaks about her book "The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt’s New World" in which she reveals the extraordinary life of the German naturalist and how he created the way we understand nature today. Her presentation is followed by a special panel discussion featuring; Adam Goodheart, Lecturer in History and American Studies and Director of The C.V. Starr Center,

http://www.march.es/
http://www.march.es/videos/index.aspx?p0=8928
El historiador de la ciencia Miguel Ángel Puig-Samper expone los viajes americanos que realizara Alexander von Humboldt, explorador y naturalista prusiano. Hermano del literato y político Wilhelm von Humboldt, nace en el seno de una familia aristócrata que le proporciona una esmerada educación. De 1799 a 1804 tiene lugar su viaje a la América española junto al botánico Aimé Bonpland, el cual supuso grandes avances en las diversas áreas que trabajó –zoología, minería, geología, botánica, arqueología, ensayística...– e inauguró las bases de la geografía moderna. A su regreso a Europa, en periodos intercalados con sus viajes posteriores a Italia y Asia Central, publicará sus trabajos, y al final de su vida, su gran obra Cosmos, según el conferenciante “la gran síntesis”.

Alexander von Humboldt is famed for his expeditions to South America and Russia. His ideas and findings still inspire scientists to this day. We search for traces of this Prussian naturalist and explorer in Germany. Alexander von Humboldt donated much of what he brought back from his travels to the Natural History Museum in his home town of Berlin. A polymath whose interests ranged from botany and biology to demography and sociology, Humboldt viewed the world in a quite modern holistic manner. Read more on:

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.
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.

Alexander von Humboldt
Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich Alexander von Humboldt (
listen ; 14 September 1769 – 6 May 1859) was a Prussian geographer, naturalist, explorer, and influential proponent of romantic philosophy. He was the younger brother of the Prussian minister, philosopher, and linguist Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767–1835). Humboldt's quantitative work on botanical geography laid the foundation for the field of biogeography. Humboldt's advocacy of long-term systematic geophysical measurement laid the foundation for modern geomagnetic and meteorological monitoring.
Between 1799 and 1804, Humboldt travelled extensively in Latin America, exploring and describing it for the first time from a modern scientific point of view. His description of the journey was written up and published in an enormous set of volumes over 21 years. Humboldt was one of the first people to propose that the lands bordering the Atlantic Ocean were once joined (South America and Africa in particular). Humboldt resurrected the use of the word cosmos from the ancient Greek and assigned it to his multi-volume treatise, Kosmos, in which he sought to unify diverse branches of scientific knowledge and culture. This important work also motivated a holistic perception of the universe as one interacting entity.

Have you heard of Alexander von Humboldt? Not likely. The geologist turned South American explorer was a bit of an 18th century super scientist, traveling over 24,000 miles to understand the relationship between nature and habitat. George Mehler details Humboldt's major accomplishments and why we should care about them today.

Alexander von Humboldt was one of the last big explorers and polymath. Living in the time of the Industrial Revolution, Humboldt adapted the idea of romanticism, believing, that gathering knowledge on science will never be exhausted. He published his studies of the animal- and plant-kingdom and unique understanding of nature public in the book Cosmos, a corpus of his most important findings.

El historiador de la ciencia Miguel Ángel Puig-Samper expone los viajes americanos que realizara Alexander von Humboldt, explorador y naturalista prusiano. Hermano del literato y político Wilhelm von Humboldt, nace en el seno de una familia aristócrata que le proporciona una esmerada educación. De 1799 a 1804 tiene lugar su viaje a la América española junto al botánico Aimé Bonpland, el cual supuso grandes avances en las diversas áreas que trabajó –zoología, minería, geología, botánica, arqueología, ensayística...– e inauguró las bases de la geografía moderna. A su regreso a Europa, en periodos intercalados con sus viajes posteriores a Italia y Asia Central, publicará sus trabajos, y al final de su vida, su gran obra Cosmos, según el conferenciante “la gran síntesis”.

Alexander von Humboldt ist berühmt für seine Expeditionen nach Südamerika und Russland. Die Ideen und Erkenntnisse des Naturforschers beflügeln die Wissenschaften bis heute. Eine Spurensuche in Deutschland. Vieles, was der Berliner Alexander von Humboldt von seinen Reisen mitbrachte, hat er dem Museum für Naturkunde in seiner Heimatstadt übergeben.

Alexander von Humboldt is famed for his expeditions to South America and Russia. His ideas and findings still inspire scientists to this day. We search for traces of this Prussian naturalist and explorer in Germany. Alexander von Humboldt donated much of what he brought back from his travels to the Natural History Museum in his home town of Berlin. A polymath whose interests ranged from botany and biology to demography and sociology, Humboldt viewed the world in a quite modern holistic manner. Read more on:

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.
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.

Humboldt, Into It Over It
Humboldt
A split-second decision-making process:
I'm taking breaks from back-breaking posture.
I'm heading down a spiral staircase, turned around
To bated breath I can see in front of me.
I'll push tempo through tap and teeth.
I'll breathe out to the tune of turning in right now.
So if it's not too late for introductions' sake,
I would draw my most modest savings and make the night fun.
But if we're taking bets, this is probably as good as this night gets.
For the sake of this song, this was about you all along.
It's a drunken sucker-push, it's a fragile fist across the chin.
And I'm laughing at all the trouble this will get you in.
A split-second decision-making process:
You'll run inside and tell our friends what you've just done-
a churning pulse through everyone
Chase you down the block, we just wanted to talk.
But you're bricked-up and clocked across the face.
Photo frozen, and re-arranged that way.
It's a drunken sucker-push, it's a fragile fist across the chin.
And we're laughing at all the trouble this has got you in.
You should have known I wasn't really acting like a dick.
If you know me, you'd know I'd be the first to admit it.
So pound for pound, we're wearing out the ground.
But tattooed assholes starting fights don't ever know when to end their nights.
Pound for pound, we're breaking in new ground.
Sober sound, I'm breathing in the best and worst of everyone around.
