About the Book

Ich übergebe am späten Abend eines vielbewegten Lebens dem deutschen Publikum ein Werk, dessen Bild in unbestimmten Umrissen mir fast ein halbes Jahrhundert lang vor der Seele schwebte. In manchen Stimmungen habe ich dieses Werk für unausführbar gehalten und bin, wenn ich es aufgegeben, wieder zu demselben zurückgekehrt. Wenn durch äußere Lebensverhältnisse und durch einen unwiderstehlichen Drang nach verschiedenartigem Wissen ich veranlasst worden bin, mich mehrere Jahre und scheinbar ausschließlich mit einzelnen Disziplinen: mit beschreibender Botanik, mit Geognosie, Chemie, astronomischen Ortsbestimmungen und Erdmagnetismus als Vorbereitung zu einer großen Reiseexpedition zu beschäftigen, so war doch immer der eigentliche Zweck des Erlernens ein höherer. Was mir den Hauptantrieb gewährte, war das Bestreben, die Erscheinungen der körperlichen Dinge in ihrem allgemeinen Zusammenhange, die Natur als ein durch innere Kräfte bewegtes und belebtes Ganzes aufzufassen. Alexander von Humboldt (1769 bis 1859) war ein deutscher Naturforscher. Seine Forschungsreisen führten ihn nach Lateinamerika, Nordamerika sowie nach Zentralasien. Wissenschaftliche Studien betrieb er unter anderem in den Bereichen Physik, Chemie, Geologie, Mineralogie, Vulkanologie, Botanik, Zoologie, Klimatologie, Ozeanographie und Astronomie. Auch zu Fragen der Wirtschaftsgeographie, der Ethnologie und der Demographie führte er Studien und Beobachtungen durch. Der Verlag der Wissenschaften verlegt historische Literatur bekannter und unbekannter wissenschaftlicher Autoren. Dem interessierten Leser werden so teilweise längst nicht mehr verlegte Werke wieder zugängig gemacht. Die gesammelten Werke von Alexander von Humboldt geben viele seiner Schriften wieder und sind ein unveränderter, hochwertiger Nachdruck der Originalausgabe aus dem Jahr 1889. Der vorliegende erste Band beinhaltet den ersten Teil seines bekannten Werks "Kosmos - Entwurf einer physischen Weltbeschreibung".
