Alexander von Humboldt: The Complete Drawings from the American Travel Journalsby: Ottmar Ette / Julia Maier / Hermann Parzinger (Foreword)

Alexander von Humboldt: The Complete Drawings from the American Travel Journals
by: Ottmar Ette / Julia Maier / Hermann Parzinger (Foreword)

Hardcover. Prestel, 1st, 2018, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, large volume in a slipcase, 736 pages. This stunning volume delves into the extraordinary illustrated notebooks of Alexander von Humboldt's journeys through the Americas, which reveal the graphic musings of an intrepid explorer, a writer and philosopher, and the father of the environmental movement. On occasion of the 250th anniversary of Humboldt's birth, the drawings from these diaries are now available in a large format, slip-cased edition. Structured thematically, the 450 illustrations have been painstakingly reproduced, complete with handwritten notes, ink stains and water spots. Humboldt drew everything he saw--Incan ruins, electric eels, the transit of Mercury, silver mines, and ocean currents. In addition to being remarkably well preserved, these drawings offer tremendous insight into Humboldt's prescient observations. Featuring commentary by a renowned expert on Humboldt's work, this breathtaking volume will bring to life one of history's most accomplished thinkers. Still sealed in publisher's shrinkwrap. DOMESTIC SHIPPING ONLY.

The Missouri River Journals of John James Audubonby: John James Audubon and Daniel Patterson

The Missouri River Journals of John James Audubon
by: John James Audubon and Daniel Patterson

Hardcover. University of Nebraska Press, 1st, 2016, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 512 pages. Historians, biographers, and scholars of John James Audubon and natural history have long been mystified by Audubon's 1843 Missouri River expedition, for his journals of the trip were thought to have been destroyed by his granddaughter Maria Rebecca Audubon. Daniel Patterson is the first scholar to locate and assemble three important fragments of the 1843 Missouri River journals, and here he offers a stunning transcription and critical edition of Audubon's last journey through the American West. Patterson's new edition of the journals--unknown to Audubon scholars and fans--offers a significantly different understanding of the very core of Audubon's life and work. Readers will be introduced to a more authentic Audubon, one who was concerned about the disappearance of America's wild animal species and yet also loved to hunt and display his prowess in the wilderness. This edition reveals that Audubon's famous late conversion to conservationism on this expedition was, in fact, a literary fiction. Maria Rebecca Audubon created this myth when she rewrote her grandfather's journals for publication to make him into a visionary conservationist. In reality the journals detail almost gratuitous hunting predations throughout the course of Audubon's last expedition.
