They may be the two most influential scientists on the modern world
whom you've never heard of. German naturalist and explorer
Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) brought a modern understanding
of science to lay audiences for the first time with his five-volume
masterwork Kosmos, in which he sought to unify humanity's
understanding of the natural world. His elder brother, government
minister, philosopher, and linguist Wilhelm von Humboldt
(1767-1835) pioneered the kind of educational systems that would
become the model for those used in the United States and Japan.
Here, in one volume, are two monographs on the lives of the great
men. HERMANN KLENCKE (1813-1881) expounds on the dramatic influence
of Alexander's work on Western thought. GUSTAV SCHLESIER covers the
life of Wilhelm, with special emphasis on the politics of his era
and how he used them to reform public education. Translated from
the German by JULIETTE BAUER and first published in English in
1853, this hard-to-find classic offers the valuable perceptions of
authors writing from the time when the authority of these two
important men was beginning to be felt. Anyone interested in the
history of modern science will find this perspective priceless.
