Alexander von Humboldt was one of the last big explorers and polymath. Living in the time of the Industrial Revolution, Humboldt adapted the idea of romanticism, believing, that gathering knowledge on science will never be exhausted. He published his studies of the animal- and plant-kingdom and unique understanding of nature public in the book Cosmos, a corpus of his most important findings.
