Alexander von Humboldt: A Metabiography,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Alexander von Humboldt (17691859) is one of the most celebrated figures of latemodern science, famous for his work in physical geography, botanical geography, and climatology, and his role as one of the first great popularizers of the sciences. His momentous accomplishments have intrigued German biographers from the Prussian era to the fall of the Berlin wall, all of whom configured and reconfigured Humboldts life according to the sensibilities of the day.This volume, the first metabiography of the great scientist, traces Humboldts biographical identities through Germanys collective past to shed light on the historical instability of our scientific heroes.Rupkes study . . . will doubtless become a standard reference for the Humboldt industry and for writers of scientific metabiographies to come.IsisEngaging. . . . Rupkes meticulous analysis is fascinating on many scores.Times Higher Education Supplement (UK)A study borne of considerable scholarship and one with important methodological implications for historians of geography.Charles W. J. Withers, Progress in Human Geography
