This book aims to view and to understand Alexander von Humboldt
from different perspectives and in varying disciplinary contexts.
His contributions addressed numerous topics in the earth but also
life sciences-spanning from geo-botany, climatology, paleontology,
oceanography, mineralogy, resources, and hydrogeology to links
between the environmental impact of humans, erosion, and climate
change. From the very beginning, he paved the way for a modern,
integrated earth system science approach to decipher, characterize,
and model the different forcing factors and their feedback
mechanisms. It becomes obvious that Humboldt's holistic approach is
far beyond simple description and empiric data collection. As
documented and analyzed in the different texts of this volume, he
combines observation and analysis with emotions and subjective
perceptions in a very affectionate way. However, this publication
does not intend to add another encyclopedic text compilation but to
observe and critically analyze this unique personalitys relevance
in a modern context, particularly in discussing environmental and
social key issues in the twenty-first century.
