Sinossi
A dynamic and entertaining introduction to the renowned naturalist and explorer.
Overflowing with fascinating facts and vibrant illustrations that are sure to appeal to young readers interested in nature, geography, history, adventure—and the many ways the world is connected.
Alexander von Humboldt’s childhood curiosity and love of nature led him to some of history’s most groundbreaking expeditions, scientific theories, and observations about weather, climate, and ecology.
His exciting adventures and highly influential discoveries are vibrantly documented in this handy book, which includes
- 6 double-page spreads, which fold out both vertically and horizontally to produce 6 large-format maps.
- The engaging and highly detailed text which accompanies the maps documents his expeditions to the Orinoco, the Andes and Peru, Mexico and the USA, the Canary Islands, Italy, and Russia.
- Readers will learn about the Humboldt Current, his observations of volcanoes and mines, his thwarted ascent of Mount Chimborazo, the discovery of the Casiquiare canal, his invention of isotherms, and much more.
Each page is a treasure trove of information and a stepping off point for conversation and further study. Best of all, Humboldt’s life and achievements provide timely inspiration for budding environmentalists and explorers who want to learn about the remarkable interconnectedness between humans and the natural world.
