文/宝木笑 “那么多种声音都在告诉我们,自然中的一切都在呼吸。” ——亚历山大•冯•洪堡 上面的话是刚过而立之年的亚历山大•冯•洪堡在南美洲的雨林中写下的,那段时间他和他的伙伴险象环生,睡觉时会有蛇盘踞在垫子下面,也许还有美洲豹毛茸茸的利爪慢慢伸来,搜...

引起我注意的是这本书的封面和书名,精美的封面加上《创造自然》这个书名,让我以为这是一本满是插图的博物学笔记,我刚买了一本《地球之美》,这书里用文字和图画逐一介绍地球知识,非常漂亮,也非常有意思,我以为《创造自然》是这样一本书。 没想到这是一个人的传记。 而且...

一个多月前,全世界天文学家们公布了一则消息,说他们“看到”了引力波,这件事有划时代的意义,用官方语言讲,这叫做:以多种观测方式为特点的“多信使”天文学进入一个新时代。总之,打个比方,把人类的生活比喻成一场大型的在线网络游戏的话,毫无疑问,现在是宇宙online版...

书名小识 不像哥伦布或牛顿,洪堡没有发现一片新大陆或物理学上的新定律。他不是以某一项事实或发现著称的,而是以他的世界观;他的自然之观点已经渗透到了我们每个人的意识之中。 不像从小就知道大仲马和小仲马的区别,在没有读本书之前,我一直以为洪堡是一位地理学家兼语言...

The Invention of Nature 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书 图书描述

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.

Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) was an intrepid explorer and the most famous scientist of his age. In North America, his name still graces four counties, thirteen towns, a river, parks, bays, lakes, and mountains. His restless life was packed with adventure and discovery, whether he was climbing the highest volcanoes in the world or racing through anthrax-infected Siberia or translating his research into bestselling publications that changed science and thinking. Among Humboldt’s most revolutionary ideas was a radical vision of nature, that it is a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone.

Now Andrea Wulf brings the man and his achievements back into focus: his daring expeditions and investigation of wild environments around the world and his discoveries of similarities between climate and vegetation zones on different continents. She also discusses his prediction of human-induced climate change, his remarkable ability to fashion poetic narrative out of scientific observation, and his relationships with iconic figures such as Simón Bolívar and Thomas Jefferson. Wulf examines how Humboldt’s writings inspired other naturalists and poets such as Darwin, Wordsworth, and Goethe, and she makes the compelling case that it was Humboldt’s influence that led John Muir to his ideas of natural preservation and that shaped Thoreau’s Walden.

With this brilliantly researched and compellingly written book, Andrea Wulf shows the myriad fundamental ways in which Humboldt created our understanding of the natural world, and she champions a renewed interest in this vital and lost player in environmental history and science.

关于这群人这段历史已经太熟悉,所以阅读体验相对平淡。还是觉得《丈量世界》中,把洪堡和高斯的人生故事交织呼应起来的写法更加别出心裁一些。这本也算是格局开阔,细节丰富,但是关于洪堡“发现”的“自然”,总体还是抒情大于阐述。欲知详情如何,要把Personal Narrative找来看看才行。嗯。

评分

这阵子读得最开心的一本书,展示了一个胸怀天地大爱的人,是如何贯彻信念,克服各种困难,并终其一生燃烧热情的。根据洪堡压抑的家庭氛围和求学经历、对艺术与美的敏感、迷茫期的郁郁寡欢、以及开创事业时惊人的充沛精力,不负责任地猜测他有可能曾是bipolar II 。本书作者文笔很好。

评分

Such a great theme and character, too bad that the author didn't do the best job. First, this book literally make Humbolt the perfect person, it barely talks about his weaknesses, emotions, and is just full of praise and how big a difference he makes. That doesn't make him a full character, a true human. Second, the author jumped quickly from diff
