An absolutely fabulous book which not only covered Humboldt, but those who were inspired by him and defined our modern view of Nature and all of her intricacies. I am highly inspired to pick up and discover (or rediscover) the various other nature-science-poets mentioned within. Despite needing to have an editorial comb-through regarding the rules for comma use (which is lacking in this book), I highly enjoyed the novel and felt deeply inspired by both it and the people discussed.
