      abstract = {This book aims to view and to understand Alexander von  Humboldt from different perspectives and in varying  disciplinary contexts. His contributions addressed numerous  topics in the earth but also life sciencesspanning from  geo-botany, climatology, paleontology, oceanography,  mineralogy, resources, and hydrogeology to links between  the environmental impact of humans, erosion, and climate  change. From the very beginning, he paved the way for a  modern, integrated earth system science approach to  decipher, characterize, and model the different forcing  factors and their feedback mechanisms. It becomes obvious  that Humboldts holistic approach is far beyond simple  description and empiric data collection. As documented and  analyzed in the different texts of this volume, he combines  observation and analysis with emotions and subjective  perceptions in a very affectionate way. However, this  publication does not intend to add another encyclopedic  text compilation but to observe and critically analyze this  unique personalitys relevance in a modern context,  particularly in discussing environmental and social key  issues in the twenty-first century.},
