I‘ve developed a strong appreciation for Alexander von Humboldt and his work after reading this book. His writings were incredibly prophetic in terms on environmental concerns. Extremely well written; not something to skim through. I learned so much about so many things, which was Humboldt‘s polymath style. Well worth reading.

The hurricane didn‘t impact us too much, but it did upend our regular schedule. It was really nice to take a coffee and books break this morning.

An informative and often amusing imagining of the lives of mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss and scientist Alexander von Humboldt.

With this 4th and final book for the #AwesomeAugust readathon, I met all my stated goals! Thanks to @Andrew65 for hosting!

Well this is my #WickedWords pick to get this one off my TBR! I picked this one up a few years ago in an Audible 2-for-1 credit sale and so it was nice to finally give it a listen! Humboldt is not as much of a household name as he once was- he inspired Darwin, Haeckel and more, has countless species and places named after him & was among the first to record the negative impact humanity has made on the natural wonders of the earth. #New @AsYouWish

Hubby loved this, and since finishing The Founding Gardeners by the same author, I‘ve been anxious to read it. Starting it today.

This is a great biography of Alexander Humboldt, the most influential scientist you probably never heard of. It details his life, his travels, his philosophy and those of others that were influenced by him.

Starting this biography of Alexander Humboldt. The intro makes him look very interesting alre already 🤩

1) Harry Potter, Six of Crows, Neverwhere, The Hobbit, Daughter of Smoke and Bone

2) it's definitely what catches my attention first and then I judge the book by its cover😁
