Ecology on the Ground and in the Clouds Leo Ruickbie

Ecology on the Ground and in the Clouds Leo RuickbieFollows Alexander von Humboldt and Aim Bonpland as they travel together in South America and then go their separate ways, in the process illustrating two very different ways of understanding humanity's place in the natural world.
