Murder by Death

I occasionally listen to Science Friday podcasts in between audio books and their latest podcast (May 3rd) includes a segment on Alexander von Humboldt, and an interview with Andrea Wulf and the illustrator of her new book, The Adventures of Alexander Von Humboldt - Andrea Wulf, Lillian Melcher.  BrokenTune, Lillelara and I were discussing it (briefly) in the comments of one of Lillelara's posts just last week so this seemed especially timely. 

There's a link off the podcast (which Ira, the host, reads out as well) to an excerpt of the book, which is an illustrated, comic book edition of the original The Invention of Nature.

So for anyone who might be interested, it's Science Friday by WNYC Studios, and the link my iPhone gave me is:

which seems to go to all the episodes, but the Humboldt one is at the top of the list (May 3rd/4th).
