About this listen

Die große Biografie eines Universalgenies. Andrea Wulf vergegenwärtigt das pralle Leben des Universalgenies Alexander von Humboldt und zeigt ihn als interdisziplinären Forscher sui generis.

Natur wird bei Humboldt quasi neu erfunden: In ihrer ganzen Fülle als Lebensnetz, als moderne Ausgestaltung der wirkmächtigen Idee von der "great chain of being". Wulf macht deutlich, worin Humboldt seiner Zeit weit voraus war und unverändert wichtig bleibt: So sah er bereits um 1800 den von Menschen verursachten Klimawandel kommen und gab entscheidende Anstöße zur Theorie der Evolution.©2015 / 2016 John Murray (Hachette), London / C. Bertelsmann. Übersetzung von Hainer Kober (P)2016 der Hörverlag

def. of holistic, living what is preached!

the book gives deep insights into the life of Alexander Humbolt, at times to detailed, but a colorful and insightful description of personalities that influenced Alex and that he influenced to the point where one wonders if the author was there or must have seen a movie of them.
the closing circle in the book of a call for environmentalism lays in parallel to the holistic view of the origin of ecology that regards all aspects of nature holistically, well done!

Hochinteressant und wunderbar erzählt

Ein ausgesprochen spannendes und lehrreiches Buch über das Leben und Wirken eines großen Wissenschaftlers und der Zeit in der er lebte. Hervorragend gelesen, aktuell das beste Buch das ich bislang auf Audible konsumiert habe.

Definitive Empfehlung für alle, die sich für das Leben Alexander von Humboldts interessieren.

Wonderful book

Would you listen to Alexander von Humboldt und die Erfindung der Natur again? Why?

Comprehensive book about the life, ideas and contribution of Alexander von Humboldt to world knowledge. I am impressed by how the author brought all this to life, and how she was able to show the amazing level of energy and motivation Humboldt must have had in order to detect and persue his ambition.

Any additional comments?

Absolutely recommended!
