Fantastic starred review for "The Adventures of Alexander von Humboldt" from Kirkus Reviews. Yeah.
"A delightful recounting, in word and image, of the work of a pioneering scientist and world traveler … Readers new to Humboldt will surely find themselves fascinated by a man who went everywhere, saw everything, and spoke with the luminaries of his time, from Jefferson to Napoleon. And those who have already read and admired The Invention of Nature will enjoy this delightful graphic presentation. Alexander von Humboldt himself would doubtless have approved. A pleasure for students of science, art, and their intersections."
