Product description

Alexander von humboldt's "travels on the equator of the new continent" invites the reader not only to consider the geography of the equatorial regions but also to think about nature as a whole. This grand expedition to south and central america at the end of the 18th century offers much more than just a travel narrative.

On this journey, where scientific observation intertwines with aesthetic sensibility, measurement with admiration, and testimony with ethical responsibility, humboldt not only describes the forests, rivers, mountains, and volcanoes, but also meticulously records the climate, vegetation, the lives of the local peoples, and the destruction wrought by the colonial order. A journey to the equal regions of the new continent, a classic both scientific and literary about nature, memory, and conscience.

alexander von humboldt (1769-1859), (1769, berlin, prussia-1859, berlin) is a german naturalist and explorer. With his studies spanning from geography to botany, geology to astronomy, he has taken nature as a whole living being and has made science a way of thinking that is not limited to measurement. In 1829, on the invitation of russian authorities, he conducted an observation and investigation journey in the ural and siberian steppes, and the altai mountains, which lasted for more than six months. this time, he was inside asia.

it is considered the founder of physical geography. His exploratory journeys to south and central america and cuba between the years 1799-1804 resulted in groundbreaking observations in the fields of climate, plant geography, and geophysics. Humboldt's work, "cosmos," which laid the foundations of ecological thought by recognizing the impacts of human activities on nature in its early stages, is a unique synthesis that brings together science with aesthetics and philosophy. Humboldt, who had a wide influence from goethe to darwin, has shown that understanding nature is also rethinking one's place in the world.
