Omtale

Renowned explorer Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) gives remarkable descriptions of the great features and phenomena of the Earth in this 1828 work. He combines a rigorous scientific approach with his emotional and aesthetic responses to the natural world, thereby constructing a true 'philosophy of nature'.
