Explorer. Naturalist. All-around genius. Lost hero of science. In his time, Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was world-famous. Why? He led one of the first major scientific expeditions into the South American rain forest and another into the wilds of Siberia. Carrying fragile instruments, he navigated perilous rapids and climbed the volcano of Tenerife. He observed animals, plants, and cultures that no one in Europe had ever dreamed of, and his books about them inspired a whole generation of scientists--including Charles Darwin. But before he did any of that, he was a little boy who was curious about everything (especially bugs)!
The Incredible yet True Adventures of Alexander von Humboldt will whisk you away to another time and place. Meet the young man who, defying his mother's wishes, became a daring explorer-scientist--and follow along as he makes his amazing discoveries. Lavish illustrations bring Humboldt's untamed world to life. See nature through the eyes of a great early scientist. Wonder awaits!
