I knew Humboldt was an explorer but this book taught me exploring is one of his less impressive marks - he was an artistic and scientific tour d'force. I liked how Wulf shows Humboldt's ideas have on other important figures like Goethe, Bolívar, Kant, Jefferson, Thoreau, and an appreciative global public. A fair amount of pages to Humboldt's legacy. I wonder if science surrounding the world wars diminished H's work.
