Nature Is An Idea That Was Invented By Alexander Von Humboldt
By -
Mary Shelley’s creature wants to go hide in South America, a reference to von Humboldt’s five years in the interior of Venezuela. He was not just an explorer and collector but a scientific analyst and observer. He is credited discovering ocean currents, the magnetic equator, and the origin of magnetic storms, plant geography and climate zones.

He is considered the father of ecology as he was the first to make the connection between human activity and natural consequences.
The Syracuse Library is discussing the first two parts of the biography “The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt’s new world.” George Arnold will give his thoughts on the book at 6 p.m. Monday.
He is sharing his experiences as a bird researcher, a naturalist and caretaker of Thornhill Nature Preserve, instructor of Outdoor Discoveries summer program and teaching stories from his days at Huntington University and Huntington County Schools. George and his wife Gail placed the very popular Geocaches at the WACF Nature Trail.
