Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a written account by Alexander von Humboldt and Aimà Bonpland of their expeditions through the tropics of the New Continent. Beginning in 1799, their journey lasted five years and took them through present-day Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Cuba and Mexico. Trained scientists, their observations cover everything from the geography and physical features of the lands they visited, to meticulous descriptions of the plants, animals, and indigenous peoples they encountered. Humboldt and Bonpland's book was massively ambitious and unprecedented in its day. It provides a unique snapshot of the Americas in a period of tremendous historical change. As well as its scientific significance, the book established Alexander von Humboldt as the father of modern geography and a tireless advocate for the abolition of slavery.
