DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Andrea Wulf\nhosted by Martin Hetzer & Gaia Novarino\n
 Abstract: In this beautifully illustrated talk\, award winning and bestsel
 ling author Andrea Wulf tells the story of Alexander von Humboldt (1769-18
 59)\, the great scientist and intrepid explorer who has more things named 
 after him than anyone else. His restless life was packed with adventure an
 d discovery\, whether exploring deep into the rainforest or climbing the w
 orld’s highest volcanoes. He turned scientific observation into poetic n
 arrative\, and his writings inspired naturalists and poets such as Darwin 
 and Goethe but also politicians such as Jefferson and Bolivar. Humboldt ex
 plained nature as a complex web of life and interconnected global force 
 – a concept that still shapes our thinking today. He described earth as 
 a living organism that could easily be destroyed by humankind and predicte
 d harmful human–induced climate change already in 1800. Using many dozen
 s of Humboldt’s own drawings\, engravings\, maps and manuscripts as well
  as the lush and colourful pages from her illustrated book\, ‘The Advent
 ures of Alexander von Humboldt’\, Wulf brings this forgotten father of e
 nvironmentalism back to life.BioAndrea Wulf is an award-winning author of 
 several books\, including the international bestseller ‘The Invention of
  Nature. Alexander von Humboldt’s New World’ which is published in 27 
 languages. A New York Times bestseller\, it also won fifteen international
  literary awards\, including the Royal Society Science Book Prize 2016 and
  Costa Biography Award (UK) and the LA Times Book Prize 2015 (US). Her lat
 est book Magnificent Rebels was published under great acclaim in autumn 20
 22. Andrea has written for many newspapers including the Guardian\, The At
 lantic and New York Times. She's a member of PEN American Center\, a Fello
 w of the Royal Society of Literature and a Miller Scholar at the Santa Fe 
 Institute.
