A new biography of one of the most interesting scientists of the late eighteenth-early nineteenth centuries – when we know so LITTLE about the earth, our history and the way in which the cosmos works.
Despite that, Humboldt manged to figure out that everything is connected. His originality was astounding, but there was a good reason for that. He never went to school. Neither did he earn a university degree. Nor did he ever take any interest in politics. These ought to be important lessons for the left-hemisphereist multiple-choicers of the modern, data-driven half-world in which bogus fact-mongers on public sector pensions like to flash their digitalia as a badge of status. By contrast, Humboldt simply smiled at criticism, moved on and invented modern science.
