La espléndida biografía de Alexander von Humboldt, el héroe perdido de la ciencia y padre de la ecología. La invención de la naturaleza revela la extraordinaria vida del visionario naturalista alemán Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) y cómo creó una nueva forma de entender la naturaleza. Humboldt fue un intrépido explorador y el científico más famoso de su época. Su agitada vida estuvo repleta de aventuras y descubrimientos: escaló los volcanes más altos del mundo, remó por el Orinoco y recorrió una Siberia infestada de ántrax. Capaz de percibir la naturaleza como una fuerza global interconectada, Humboldt descubrió similitudes entre distintas zonas climáticas de todo el mundo, y previó el peligro de un cambio climático provocado por el hombre. Convirtió la observación científica en narrativa poética, y sus escritos inspiraron no solo a naturalistas y escritores como Darwin, Wordsworth y Goethe, sino también a políticos como Jefferson o Simón Bolívar. Además, fueron las ideas de Humboldt las que llevaron a John Muir a perseverar en sus teorías, y a Thoreau a escribir su Walden. Wulf rastrea la influencia de Humboldt en las grandes mentes de su tiempo, a las que inspiró en ámbitos como la revolución, la teoría de evolución, la ecología, la conservación, el arte y la literatura. Una lectura que cobra importancia en el Día mundial del medioambiente. La invención de la naturaleza está entre los mejores libros del año según The New York Times, The Independent y Publishers Weekly entre otros.

Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was the most famous scientist of his age, a visionary German naturalist and polymath whose discoveries forever changed the way we understand the natural world. Among his most revolutionary ideas was a radical conception of nature as a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone. In North America, Humboldt's name still graces towns, counties, parks, bays, lakes, mountains, and a river. And yet the man has been all but forgotten. In this illuminating biography, Andrea Wulf brings Humboldt's extraordinary life back into focus: his prediction of human-induced climate change; his daring expeditions to the highest peaks of South America and to the anthrax-infected steppes of Siberia; his relationships with iconic figures, including Simón Bolívar and Thomas Jefferson; and the lasting influence of his writings on Darwin, Wordsworth, Goethe, Muir, Thoreau, and many others. Brilliantly researched and stunningly written, The Invention of Nature reveals the myriad ways in which Humboldt's ideas form the foundation of modern environmentalism--and reminds us why they are as prescient and vital as ever.

Good pillow, useless case
Color: Grey, Size: S-16 X 12 Inch
Nice pillow, small and portable. No horrible smell. Negative 1 star for the carrying case which is twice the size of the pillow. If you think you will use it to compress your pillow for travel, think again. It just expands back in the bag. Totally useless unless you’d like to store rocks in the bag instead.

Great for car naps and family road trips.
Color: Grey, Size: S-16 X 12 Inch, Color: Grey, Size: S-16 X 12 Inch
Adjusts to any position, no weird smell, packs well and hangs from headrest. Soft, supportive, and easy to clean after kid messes. Slightly bulkier than some, but the comfort is worth it!

A Travel Pillow That Actually Works!
Color: Sky Blue, Size: M-17.7 X 13.8 Inch
I fly fairly often and have gone through a few different pillows that I thought would be great but left me disappointed! I’m honestly so happy with this pillow. It fits easily in my backpack, and it doesn’t look ridiculous if I hanging it on my backpack if I’m packing a lot. It’s thick enough to support my head against the window/wall without feeling too bulky. I usually sleep really poorly on planes, and I’m not going to say that this was the magic charm, but I definitely slept more comfortably. It’s also great support against your lower back if you’re not sleeping. Some have mentioned a smell, but honestly it just smells like memory foam usually does and it’s not overpowering. I’ve only used for a few flights so far but I love it!

Nice travel pillow
Color: Apricot Pink, Size: S-16 X 12 Inch
Works well as a pillow to support my elbow while I’m driving. It was too full to use as a pillow to place my head on at night since I am a side sleeper. There is no way to remove some of the memory foam to make it flat enough to use as my bedtime pillow. I liked the soft pink zippered cover as it works well and makes it easy to remove and wash. I didn’t notice any smell.
