The wonderful Jenny Uglow review Invention of Nature in Wall Street Journal … and what a lovely review it is.
“engrossing biography of Humboldt … Andrea Wulf magnificently recreates Humboldt’s dazzling, complex personality and the scope of his writing … Her book fulfills her aim to restore Humboldt to his place “in the pantheon of nature and science,” revealing his approach as a key source for our modern understanding of the natural world.” — Wall Street Journal
