About this title

Synopsis

Alexander von Humboldt, once described as the 'last universal scholar in the field of the natural sciences', was one of the most extraordinary men of his time. This work looks at the man, what drove him, the age he lived in, and follows his journeys of discovery along the Casiquiare canal and the Upper Orinoco of Venezuela.
