Reviews

" A mediation inspired by Alexander von Humboldt' s journey in Mexico between in 1803- 04, Myron Echenberg has written an engaging, significant, and wide-ranging account. As a result of both diligent research and careful writing, Humboldt' s Mexico is an important contribution to both the study of Humboldt and to the examination of Mexico in the last years of its colonial experience." William Beezley, University of Arizona
