  abstract  = {KRB hat an anderer Stelle das Technikverst{\"a}ndnis Alexander von Humboldts behandelt und ihn als "geistigen Ahnherrn der F{\"o}rderung industriellen Fortschritts" gew{\"u}rdigt. Hier und heute sei Humboldts fr{\"u}hes Interesse an der Anwendung der Botanik belegt, um dem Bev{\"o}lkerungswachstum, der Preissteigerung bei Lebensmitteln, der Zerr{\"u}ttung der Staatsfinanzen, dem einreißenden Mangel durch Erschließung neuer Nahrungsquellen, Nutzung ignorierter Naturkr{\"a}fte und Schaffung neuer Arbeitspl{\"a}tze zu steuern. Dabei beachtete Humboldt, nahezu noch ein Teenager, bereits {\"o}kologische Gesichtspunkte.},

  abstract  = {In letters to trusted friends and in conversations Humboldt often showed an inclination to make fun of persons, institutions and situations. In most cases he did this tongue in cheek, rarely hurting people seriously. A special target of Humboldt's ironical remarks was the Prussian ministry of education and culture because of its animosity to the natural sciences which Humboldt wanted to promote. Often Humboldt expressed his frustration about narrow-mindedness and arrogance which he observed in his hometown of Berlin. Sometimes he had reasons to criticize the Prussian Academies of Sciences and of Arts. Humboldt had a fine sense of humor and many critical remarks can only be understood in the context in which they were made. The reader should therefore be warned, not to take any ironical or sarcastic characterization of a person or an institution literally.},
