How do you classify a landscape by its plants, or read a volcano's fire? Humboldt's second volume tackles the physiognomy of vegetation, the structure and action of volcanoes across the globe, and the mystery of the vital force. Grand, sweeping natural philosophy. Continue the journey with the naturalist who saw the world whole.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
