About this book

Humboldt offered the world a vision of humans and nature as integrated halves of a single whole. He espoused the idea that while the univerise of nature exists apart from human purpose its beauty and order are human achievements. Laura Dassow Walls traces the emergence of this philosophy to Humboldt's 1799 journey to America.
