The list of species named after him is long. His contributions to the foundations of modern science are inestimable. German naturalist and explorer ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT (1769-1859) was called by Charles Darwin 'the greatest traveling scientist who ever lived' and by Thomas Jefferson 'the most important scientist whom I have met.'From 1799 to 1804, Von Humboldt traveled with French botanist AIMÉ JACQUES ALEXANDRE BONPLAND (1773-1858) in Latin America, the first exploration from a scientific perspective of this vital region of the planet, and afterward, they produced this groundbreaking three-volume work, which introduced Europeans to this previously mysterious land. First published in French in 1807, this is a replica of an 1851 English-language edition.In Volume II, the travelers visit the Lake of Tacarigua and the hot springs of Mariana, navigate the Rio Apure, enter Brazil and explore the Upper Orinoco, and more.
