Review Quotes: "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."
