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\u0026amp;rsquo;s name still graces towns, counties, parks, bays, lakes, mountains, and a river. And yet the man has been all but forgotten. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this illuminating biography, Andrea Wulf brings Humboldt\u0026amp;rsquo;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 Sim\u0026amp;oacute;n Bol\u0026amp;iacute;var and Thomas Jefferson; and the lasting influence of his writings on Darwin, Wordsworth, Goethe, Muir, Thoreau, and many others.
