The Humboldt Current: Nineteenth-Century Exploration and the Roots of American Environmentalism(ISBN=9780143111924) 免费 下载 115盘 pdf txt mobi caj lit

　　A masterly and beautifully written account of the

impact of Alexander von Humboldt on nineteenth-century American

history and culture

The naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859)

achieved unparalleled fame in his own time. Today, however, he and

his enormous legacy to American thought are virtually unknown. In

The Humboldt Current, Aaron Sachs traces Humboldt’s

pervasive influence on American history through examining the work

of four explorers—J. N. Reynolds, Clarence King, George Wallace,

and John Muir—who embraced Humboldt’s idea of a "chain of

connection" uniting all peoples and all environments. A skillful

blend of narrative and interpretation that also discusses

Humboldt’s influence on Emerson, Whitman, Thoreau, Melville, and

Poe, The Humboldt Current offers a colorful, passionate, and

superbly written reinterpretation of nineteenth-century American

history.
