With Molly Cate, Humanitarian Educator
Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was driven by wonder and a thirst to understand the natural world. Learn about the man who used his personal wealth to explore Latin America and Russia, studying everything: gravity, atmosphere, volcanoes, plants and animals. His keen eye and great heart noted many instances of man’s inhumanity to man, too; he abhorred slavery. He wrote some 50,000 letters and more than 20 books on natural history and some political history too, influencing Charles Darwin, H. D. Thoreau and John Muir. Alexander von Humboldt’s culminating work, his book Cosmos, became an international sensation. His vision of all life as being part of a unity, prefigured our modern ecological movement.
