Booklist: The Invention of Nature - starred review

"Wulf, a historian with an invaluable environmental perspective, presents with zest and eloquence the full story of Humboldt���s adventurous life and extraordinary achievements, from making science ���accessible and popular��� to his early warnings about how deforestation, monoculture agriculture, and industrialization would engender disastrous climate change. Humboldt, Wulf convincingly argues in this enthralling, elucidating biography, was a genuine visionary, whose insights we need now more than ever." - Booklist
