These are my notes on the book, as there were only three at the meeting and nobody did notes.
An excellent Biography of Alexander Von Humboldt and his travels and explorations. A 10 by any scientific person's scoring. His researches and books stimulated so many people, and there are chapters on some of these, Charles Darwin, Thoreau, Marsh, who influenced Muir who found the national Parks movement to prevent man from destroying nature. That is his main theme. Wulf writes very well.
