La espléndida biografía de Alexander von Humboldt, el héroe perdido de la ciencia y padre de la ecología. La invención de la naturaleza revela la extraordinaria vida del visionario naturalista alemán Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) y cómo creó una nueva forma de entender la naturaleza. Humboldt fue un intrépido explorador y el científico más famoso de su época. Su agitada vida estuvo repleta de aventuras y descubrimientos: escaló los volcanes más altos del mundo, remó por el Orinoco y recorrió una Siberia infestada de ántrax. Capaz de percibir la naturaleza como una fuerza global interconectada, Humboldt descubrió similitudes entre distintas zonas climáticas de todo el mundo, y previó el peligro de un cambio climático provocado por el hombre. Convirtió la observación científica en narrativa poética, y sus escritos inspiraron no solo a naturalistas y escritores como Darwin, Wordsworth y Goethe, sino también a políticos como Jefferson o Simón Bolívar. Además, fueron las ideas de Humboldt las que llevaron a John Muir a perseverar en sus teorías, y a Thoreau a escribir su Walden. Wulf rastrea la influencia de Humboldt en las grandes mentes de su tiempo, a las que inspiró en ámbitos como la revolución, la teoría de evolución, la ecología, la conservación, el arte y la literatura. Una lectura que cobra importancia en el Día mundial del medioambiente. La invención de la naturaleza está entre los mejores libros del año según The New York Times, The Independent y Publishers Weekly entre otros.

Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) was the most famous scientist of his age, a visionary German naturalist and polymath whose discoveries forever changed the way we understand the natural world. Among his most revolutionary ideas was a radical conception of nature as a complex and interconnected global force that does not exist for the use of humankind alone. In North America, Humboldt's name still graces towns, counties, parks, bays, lakes, mountains, and a river. And yet the man has been all but forgotten. In this illuminating biography, Andrea Wulf brings Humboldt's extraordinary life back into focus: his prediction of human-induced climate change; his daring expeditions to the highest peaks of South America and to the anthrax-infected steppes of Siberia; his relationships with iconic figures, including Simón Bolívar and Thomas Jefferson; and the lasting influence of his writings on Darwin, Wordsworth, Goethe, Muir, Thoreau, and many others. Brilliantly researched and stunningly written, The Invention of Nature reveals the myriad ways in which Humboldt's ideas form the foundation of modern environmentalism--and reminds us why they are as prescient and vital as ever.

Dog approved!
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My dog, a half pit bull and half chocolate lab, has a very sensitive stomach. With that in mind I have to always be wary of the things I buy her. With that in mind these seemed to work great! They don’t last as long as normal raw hide, so there is less “chew time” but she was excited when she received them! If your looking for a quick treat or reward for your dog these are great! If your looking for a bone/chewing alternative then these don’t quite meet that requirement.

Doberman Approved
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My 106lb Doberman refuses to eat anything but these and duck hearts- go figure- he does not like any type of carb, his diet consists of Taste of the Wild and boiled chicken, he gets one of these every night and wiggles his cute little butt off when he hears me getting the bag, he can hardly contain his excitement. He has NEVER had any issues of chocking or vomiting with these, I am a huge believer in sharing experiences when it comes to our fur babies, mine loves his biscuit (that's what we call it" I know it isn't a biscuit.

Great alternative to rawhide!
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
We have been getting these for quite some time for our black lab. He eats rawhide too quickly and ends up regurgitating it all over the floor. So, on the advice of our vet, we tried something else. We tried these after many other products. These are gone as quickly as rawhide (with my dog, that's 10 minutes... TOPS!), but he doesn't have the digestive issues. The fact that they chew up similar to rawhide is a big plus, since I don't like it when he can't finish it in one sitting - that's just a yucky mess laying around on the floor.
I highly recommend these SmartBones for anyone whose dog can't digest rawhide well.

Happy dog
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
We have a big dog and don't like to give him rawhide products for many reasons. We came across SmartBones a couple of years ago and have bought them ever since. They work well for our dog. The challenge has been finding them in stores where we live and at a fair price. These worked.

I order these a lot. They don't have rawhide ...
Flavor Name: Chicken, Size: 12 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I order these a lot. They don't have rawhide in them so that is my main reason. I have a small dog and I order a large because it then takes him about 45 mins to an hour to eat. Most of the time after he eats half I save the other half for the next day to make them last longer! He is a very active dog but these are his favorites. I also order them in small for little treats here and there (those last under 10 mins for him).
