Richard Holmes on “The Invention of Nature”

And here is another spectacular advance quote for 'The Invention of Nature" … by Richard Holmes who wrote the epic 'The Age of Wonder'. I'm so honoured.

"The Invention of Nature is a big, magnificent, adventurous book – so vividly written and daringly researched – a geographical pilgrimage and an intellectual epic! With brilliant, surprising, and thought-provoking connections to Simón Bolívar, Charles Darwin, William Herschel, Charles Lyell, Walt Whitman, Edgar Allen Poe, Henry David Thoreau, George Perkins Marsh… The book is a major achievement.”

Richard Holmes, author of The Age of Wonder and Coleridge
