(London), John Murray, (2015). The true first (British) edition of this best-selling, much-reprinted biography of Alexander von Humboldt: extraordinary explorer, geographer and botanist; discoverer of climate zones (and climate change); and early proponent of the theory of the interconnectedness of living things, the web of life. Inscribed by Wulf. Rare signed in the first printing. A perfectbound book, this copy has some foxing to the page edges and endpages; still near fine in a near fine, lightly foxed and edgeworn dust jacket. [#036859] $500
