“There are more places, plants and animals named after Humboldt than anyone else,” the essayist contends. Who was Alexander von Humboldt? Why is he so important? In this video, Wulf reveals a scientist who used imagination and art to unravel the mysteries of nature. She also gives us insight into the first man to speak about anthropogenic climate change. “The most important thing is his concept of nature. That nature is a big interconnected whole and living organism,” Wulf asserts.
Andrea Wulf is a historian and writer, known for her books on natural history and science. She is the author of several critically acclaimed essays such as Founding Gardeners, The Brother Gardeners and Chasing Venus: The Race to Measure the Heavens.
