Bertelsmann C.

What does Alexander von Humboldt, who died more than 150 years ago, have to do with climate change and sustainability? The natural scientist and universal scholar, after whom not only countless streets, plants and even a "mare" on the moon are named, shaped our understanding of nature as a living whole, as a cosmos in which everything, from the tiniest to the largest, is interconnected and of which we are an inseparable part, like no other scientist. In her multi-award-winning book - including the Bavarian Book Award 2016 - historian Andrea Wulf places Humboldt's invention of nature, which he radically rethought, at the centre of her exploratory journey through his life and work. She follows the tracks of the gifted networker and shows that our current knowledge of the vulnerability of the earth is rooted in Humboldt's convictions. To meet him again today is a reminder.
