About this book
Alexander von Humboldt climbs Chimborazo with scientific instruments, recording the conditions and living things he encounters despite the dangers of the ascent. Andrea Wulf's biography places this drive to observe nature at the center of his life. The opening follows his travels in Latin America and his efforts to measure and understand unfamiliar environments.
