Andrea Wulf was born in India, moved to Germany as a child, and now lives in England. She is the author of several acclaimed books. The Brother Gardeners won the American Horticultural Society Book Award and was long-listed for the Samuel Johnson Prize. Her book Founding Gardeners was on the New York Times bestseller list. Andrea has written for many newspapers including the Guardian, LA Times and New York Times. She was the Eccles British Library Writer in Residence 2013 and a three-time fellow of the International Center for Jefferson Studies at Monticello. She appears regularly on TV and radio.
Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) is the great lost scientist: more things are named after him than anyone else. There are towns, rivers, mountain ranges, the ocean current that runs along the South American coast, there's a penguin, a giant squid - even the Mare Humboldtianum on the moon.
His colourful adventures read like something out of a Boy's Own story: Humboldt explored deep into the rainforest, climbed the world's highest volcanoes and inspired princes and presidents, scientists and poets alike. Napoleon was jealous of him; Simon Bolívar's revolution was fuelled by his ideas; Darwin set sail on the Beagle because of Humboldt; and Jules Verne's Captain Nemo owned all his many books. He simply was, as one contemporary put it, 'the greatest man since the Deluge'.
Taking us on a fantastic voyage in his footsteps - racing across anthrax-infected Russia or mapping tropical rivers alive with crocodiles - Andrea Wulf shows why his life and ideas remain so important today. Humboldt predicted human-induced climate change as early as 1800, and The Invention of Nature traces his ideas as they go on to revolutionize and shape science, conservation, nature writing, politics, art and the theory of evolution. He wanted to know and understand everything and his way of thinking was so far ahead of his time that it's only coming into its own now. Alexander von Humboldt really did invent the way we see nature.
安德烈亚 武尔夫的发现自然,讲述了亚历山大 冯 洪堡的科学发展之旅。以旅行与思想的格式编排了整本书的架构,按照出发:新生的想法,到达:收集想法,归途:整理想法,影响:传播想法,新世界:想法的演化架构了整本书。这个结构自己很是喜欢,仿佛人生就是自然,思想以及人的...
評分先简单说下这本书吧。这本书是应当下的环保和全球变暖的问题而作,当下流行的自然观即万物都是相连的,没有所谓的自然和社会之间的区别,自然是一个万物息息相关的有机体。比如Lovelock的Gaia,Wulf一再重复现在流行的这些观点洪堡早就提出来,并用其一生去证明earth as a livi...
評分 評分引起我注意的是这本书的封面和书名,精美的封面加上《创造自然》这个书名,让我以为这是一本满是插图的博物学笔记,我刚买了一本《地球之美》,这书里用文字和图画逐一介绍地球知识,非常漂亮,也非常有意思,我以为《创造自然》是这样一本书。 没想到这是一个人的传记。 而且...
評分一个多月前,全世界天文学家们公布了一则消息,说他们“看到”了引力波,这件事有划时代的意义,用官方语言讲,这叫做:以多种观测方式为特点的“多信使”天文学进入一个新时代。总之,打个比方,把人类的生活比喻成一场大型的在线网络游戏的话,毫无疑问,现在是宇宙online版...
