Among the greatest natural historians was Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), who influenced Goethe, Darwin, and America's leading naturalists.
Humboldt and others sparked a centuries-long debate about natural history and geological destiny by discussing what today we call the environment.
Some now believe the earth cannot safely accommodate its growing burdens; others say longer life spans and
more people are signs of progress.
Are humans destroying the earth, or building a better world? Will the future bring despair and destruction or hope and improvement?
In light of the recent "Global Warming" debates and controversy, Humboldt's views are enlightening to say the least!
