La espl???ndida biograf???a de Alexander von Humboldt, el h???roe perdido de la ciencia y padre de la ecolog???a. La invenci???n de la naturaleza revela la extraordinaria vida del visionario naturalista alem???n Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) y c???mo cre??? una nueva forma de entender la naturaleza. Humboldt fue un intr???pido explorador y el cient???fico m???s famoso de su ???poca. Su agitada vida estuvo repleta de aventuras y descubrimientos: escal??? los volcanes m???s altos del mundo, rem??? por el Orinoco y recorri??? una Siberia infestada de ???ntrax. Capaz de percibir la naturaleza como una fuerza global interconectada, Humboldt descubri??? similitudes entre distintas zonas clim???ticas de todo el mundo, y previ??? el peligro de un cambio clim???tico provocado por el hombre. Convirti??? la observaci???n cient???fica en narrativa po???tica, y sus escritos inspiraron no solo a naturalistas y escritores como Darwin, Wordsworth y Goethe, sino tambi???n a pol???ticos como Jefferson o Sim???n Bol???var. Adem???s, fueron las ideas de Humboldt las que llevaron a John Muir a perseverar en sus teor???as, y a Thoreau a escribir su Walden . Wulf rastrea la influencia de Humboldt en las grandes mentes de su tiempo, a las que inspir??? en ???mbitos como la revoluci???n, la teor???a de evoluci???n, la ecolog???a, la conservaci???n, el arte y la literatura. Una lectura que cobra importancia en el D???a mundial del medioambiente. La invenci???n de la naturaleza est??? entre los mejores libros del a???o seg???n The New York Times , The Independent y Publishers Weekly entre otros. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The acclaimed author of Founding Gardeners reveals the forgotten life of Alexander von Humboldt, the visionary German naturalist whose ideas changed the way we see the natural world--and in the process created modern environmentalism. NATIONAL BEST SELLER One of the New York Times 10 Best Books of the Year Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, The James Wright Award for Nature Writing, the Costa Biography Award, the Royal Geographic Society's Ness Award, the Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award Finalist for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction, the Royal Society Science Book Prize, the Kirkus Prize Prize for Nonfiction, the Independent Bookshop Week Book Award A Best Book of the Year: The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Economist , Nature , Jezebel , Kirkus Reviews , Publishers Weekly , New Scientist , The Independent , The Telegraph , The Sunday Times, The Evening Standard, The Spectator Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was the most famous scientist of his age, a visionary German naturalist and polymath whose discoveries forever changed the way we understand the natural world. Among his most revolutionary ideas was a radical conception of nature as a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone. In North America, Humboldt's name still graces towns, counties, parks, bays, lakes, mountains, and a river. And yet the man has been all but forgotten. In this illuminating biography, Andrea Wulf brings Humboldt's extraordinary life back into focus: his prediction of human-induced climate change; his daring expeditions to the highest peaks of South America and to the anthrax-infected steppes of Siberia; his relationships with iconic figures, including Sim???n Bol???var and Thomas Jefferson; and the lasting influence of his writings on Darwin, Wordsworth, Goethe,
