fennia-2838	Buttimer, Anne	Humboldt, Granö and Geo-poetics of the Altai	2010	26	.pdf	application/pdf	11894	718	66	two of these explorers, Alexander von Humboldt (1769−1859) and Johannes Gabriel Granö (1882−1956), were especially gifted in yielding both geo-scientific and geo-poetic accounts of their surveys, Granö especially evoking a “geo-poetics” of the Altai, possibly inspired by Humboldt’s American journeys. Both scholars also underwent major changes in their scholarly outlooks on na- ture and culture over the course of their careers, each initially attuned primarily to the bio-physical sciences, but deeply attracted to the prospects of geographical exploration: for Humboldt the tropi- cal lands, for Granö Siberia and the mongolian Steppes.	cache/fennia-2838.pdf	txt/fennia-2838.txt
