    "C'est un banal carnet, oublié parmi les manuscrits du célèbre voyageur prussien, Alexander von Humboldt. Le titre inscrit sur la couverture - "Voyage de Paris en Italie avec Gay-Lussac, 1805" - fait attendre l'évocation de la lumière, de la beauté des paysages, de la nostalgie des ruines. Ce ne sont que chiffres et mesures, citations, notes brèves. Du magnétisme terrestre aux cosmogonies de l'Inde et de l'Amérique en passant par la minéralogie des Anciens et la chimie de l'atmosphère, les sujets les plus divers sont abordés, dans une langue qui mêle l'allemand et le français. Quelle(s) histoire(s) peut raconter ce calepin au lecteur d'aujourd'hui ? À partir d'une analyse au plus près de ces pages griffonnées, le livre interroge la façon dont Humboldt a visité l'Italie, au Mont-Cenis, à Tivoli, dans le cratère du Vésuve et dans les bibliothèques de Rome. Dans les notes du voyageur, archive d'un savoir en construction, se dessine, un demi-siècle avant Cosmos, l'ambition d'une science pensée à l'échelle du monde. Longtemps resté dans l'ombre de son expédition au Nouveau Monde, le court épisode du tour d'Italie d'Alexander von Humboldt trouve ainsi sa place singulière au coeur de l'entreprise savante du voyageur."--Page 4 of cover

    From the voyages of Christopher Columbus to those of Alexander von Humboldt and Charles Darwin, the depiction of the natural world played a central role in shaping how people on both sides of the Atlantic understood and imaged the region we now know as Latin America. Nature provided incentives for exploration, commodities for trade, specimens for scientific investigation, and manifestations of divine forces. It also yielded a rich trove of representations, created both by natives to the region and visitors, which are the subject of this lushly illustrated book. Author Daniela Bleichmar shows that these images were not only works of art but also instruments for the production of knowledge, with scientific, social, and political repercussions. Early depictions of Latin American nature introduced European audiences to native medicines and religious practices. By the 17th century, revelatory accounts of tobacco, chocolate, and cochineal reshaped science, trade, and empire around the globe. In the 18th and 19th centuries, collections and scientific expeditions produced both patriotic and imperial visions of Latin America.

    "Having assembled a crew of adventurers, the brilliant, blustering physiologist and physicist Professor Challenger journeys to a South American jungle ... in search of a lost plateau crawling with iguanodons. It's a ripping yarn-the first popular dinosaurs-still-live tale, prototype for everything from King Kong to Jurassic Park. At the same time, however, it's a philosophical novel, one that animates-in a thrilling, humorous fashion-the author's obsessive drive (also seen in his Sherlock Holmes stories) to reconcile the claims of logical reason and intuition. In their second adventure, Challenger et al. discover that the planet is about to pass through a belt of poisonous ether which will destroy all life on Earth. However, Challenger has transformed his wife's dressing room into an airtight chamber, so they can witness the end of the world. An epistemological thriller"--

    Preliminary Material -- Introduction: Nikolaus Joseph Freiherr von Jacquin -- Chapter One: A Leiden Botanist -- Chapter Two: Botanical Expedition to the Caribbean -- Chapter Three: The Selectarum stirpium americanarum historia -- Conclusion: Ambassador of Flora -- Appendix I: Jacquin’s American Plants -- Appendix II: Jacquin’s American Animals -- Appendix III: Jacquin’s Publications -- Bibliography -- Indices. Nikolaus Joseph Jacquin’s American Plants offers a detailed account of the Austrian botanical expedition to the Caribbean that took place between 1754 and 1759, culminating in the publication of the Selectarum stirpium americanarum historia (1763) by the famous Dutch-born scientist, the first Linnaean botanist in the New World. Novel findings about Jacquin’s family and early life are given. Through a careful reading of Jacquin’s own publications, letters and manuscripts, Santiago Madriñán provides, from a botanist’s perspective, a meticulous description of the places visited by Jacquin and the plants he collected. The splendid color illustrations of the plants published in the luxury second edition of the Selectarum in 1780 are here reprinted, together with an annotated list of the species described. This title was awarded the Stafleu Medal for 2015 for publications of 2013 and 2014 for outstanding publications in historical, bibliographical, and/or nomenclatural aspects of plant taxonomy
