The explorer and multi-disciplinary scientist Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) developed some of the first geological theories of continental drift. In this work, translated from the French in 1823, Humboldt uses his field notes to collate his research on geological formations worldwide and their effects on local organic growth.
