The Adventures of Alexander von Humboldt, the Lost Hero of Science
Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) is the great lost scientist – more things are named after him than anyone else. There are towns, rivers, mountain ranges, the ocean current that runs along the South American coast, there’s a penguin, a giant squid, even the Mare Humboldtianum on the moon.
His colourful adventures read like something out of a Boy’s Own story.
