The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt’s New World
Recommended by S.A.V.
The most interesting man whose name you’ve only heard in passing. One of the earliest “modern day” environmentalists, an infinitely curious human who was an abolitionist and defender of Indigenous peoples’ rights. This book blew me away.

This was a fascinating read. I really love Andrea Wulf's other books, too.
