Alexander von Humboldt (1769 1859) was a naturalist, explorer and
philanthropist now well known for his multidisciplinary approach to
science. First published in English in 1873, this two-volume
biography was translated from the German edition of 1872, edited by
Karl Bruhns, which had been compiled in commemoration of the
centenary of Humboldt's birth. Incorporating numerous extracts of
Humboldt's own warmly written letters and anecdotes from his many
acquaintances, it charts his travels in South America, Asia and
Europe. Volume 1 covers his early exploratory trips and some of his
lesser-known exploits, including becoming Superintendent of Mines
in Northern Bavaria, his research on the sixteenth-century eruption
of Nevado del Altar in Ecuador and his friendship with the young
Prince William of Prussia. Of interest to students and researchers
in the history of science, this is a minutely detailed and
compelling insight into the life of the man behind the scientist.

with the famous French chemist Gay-Lussac, and later, his close
association with King Frederick William IV of Prussia. Ideal for
students and researchers in the history of science, this is a
