La espléndida biografía de Alexander von Humboldt, el héroe perdido de la ciencia y padre de la ecología.

La invención de la naturaleza revela la extraordinaria vida del visionario naturalista alemán Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) y cómo creó una nueva forma de entender la naturaleza.

Humboldt fue un intrépido explorador y el científico más famoso de su época. Su agitada vida estuvo repleta de aventuras y descubrimientos: escaló los volcanes más altos del mundo, remó por el Orinoco y recorrió una Siberia infestada de ántrax. Capaz de percibir la naturaleza como una fuerza global interconectada, Humboldt descubrió similitudes entre distintas zonas climáticas de todo el mundo, y previó el peligro de un cambio climático provocado por el hombre.

Convirtió la observación científica en narrativa poética, y sus escritos inspiraron no solo a naturalistas y escritores como Darwin, Wordsworth y Goethe, sino también a políticos como Jefferson o Simón Bolívar. Además, fueron las ideas de Humboldt las que llevaron a John Muir a perseverar en sus teorías, y a Thoreau a escribir su Walden. Wulf rastrea la influencia de Humboldt en las grandes mentes de su tiempo, a las que inspiró en ámbitos como la revolución, la teoría de evolución, la ecología, la conservación, el arte y la literatura.

Una lectura que cobra importancia en el Día mundial del medioambiente.

La invención de la naturaleza está entre los mejores libros del año según The New York Times, The Independent y Publishers Weekly entre otros.

Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was the most famous scientist of his age, a visionary German naturalist and polymath whose discoveries forever changed the way we understand the natural world. Among his most revolutionary ideas was a radical conception of nature as a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone. In North America, Humboldt's name still graces towns, counties, parks, bays, lakes, mountains, and a river. And yet the man has been all but forgotten.

In this illuminating biography, Andrea Wulf brings Humboldt's extraordinary life back into focus: his prediction of human-induced climate change; his daring expeditions to the highest peaks of South America and to the anthrax-infected steppes of Siberia; his relationships with iconic figures, including Simón Bolívar and Thomas Jefferson; and the lasting influence of his writings on Darwin, Wordsworth, Goethe, Muir, Thoreau, and many others. Brilliantly researched and stunningly written, The Invention of Nature reveals the myriad ways in which Humboldt's ideas form the foundation of modern environmentalism--and reminds us why they are as prescient and vital as ever.

Soft, comfortable!
Size: Throw(51" x 63"), Color: Cream White
The softest blanket we own! Definitely seems durable and so warm, love that it doesn’t shed and the material has held up well after a couple of washes, I wasn’t sure about the price but it is our favorite now.

Luxury and priced so well.
Size: 60''x80'', Color: Tipped Champagne Ivory
Absolutely gorgeous. Its got some weight to it, which I love, so cuddly. Nice quality velvet lines the underside in a beige color. Well done. Looks and feels so luxurious. The color is as in the picture, has dimension when its rumpled, but fully creamy white when laying flat. I can't figure it out how that happens lol! But its lovely.

Buy it!
Size: 60''x80'', Color: Tipped Champagne Ivory
So soft and perfect weight! The color is beautiful and it feels luxury!! Great value for money and the size is perfect. Fits over my king bed nicely, not enough to be an actual king size blanket but it’s enough to cover the main part of the bed and add extra warmth! Mine did shed a little out of the bag, but I just put it in the dryer with some dryer sheets (no heat) for an hour and that did the trick!
