A proposito di questo titolo

 Dive into the fascinating world of Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich Alexander von Humboldt, a Prussian geographer, naturalist, and explorer often hailed as the last of the great polymaths. After his passing in 1859, the scientific community began to fragment into specialized fields, but Humboldt’s extraordinary vision encompassed the entirety of nature as a cohesive whole. Often regarded as the father of modern ecology and earth studies, his monumental work, Cosmos, took two decades to complete and aimed to articulate the wonders of the physical world. This LibriVox recording features the Introduction to Cosmos, offering a glimpse into Humboldts expansive intellect, enriched by his lyrical writing style that has influenced generations of nature writers and Romantic thinkers. This reading omits extensive footnotes to maintain the seamless flow of thought, and includes the translator’s preface with a brief biography of Humboldt, as well as the author’s own preface. - Summary by Wikipedia and david walesCopyright Animals & Nature Filosofia Mondiale Scienza Scienze sociali
