In many editions they have been reduced. In a digital library, they will become accessible in their entirety, and Internet technology will reproduce them in a form that overcomes the limitations of the original printing. The user will be able to enlarge the images and see details that might have been overlooked in the past. The Humboldt's digital library will adhere to the standards for digital libraries established by the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) and the tools EPRINTS and DSPACE to provide the Web services and determine the most effective way to establish dynamic linking and knowledge based searching of information within the archive.},

  abstract  = {Alexander von Humboldt's descriptions of volcanic mountains in his travel journals (Reise auf dem R{\´i}o Magdalena, durch die Anden und Mexico) show both his reliance on and impatience with literary conventions and travel narratives. Using Goethe's Italienische Reise and B{\"u}rger's M{\"u}nchhausen as points of comparison for literary treatments of the volcano ascent, Humboldt's process of writing is examined. Humboldt shows the failure of the existing discourse and begins to experiment with narratives which fragment and recombine personal and historical modes of writing with, in this case, images from new technical inventions which visualize landscape according to fundamental scientific principles. While the inclusion of scientific prose is relevant, Humboldt's link to modernity is based on experimental narrative techniques which draw upon changing sets of discourse practices to describe complex realities.},

  abstract  = {Stephen Jay Gould wrote recently that "when Church began to paint his great canvases, Alexander von Humboldt may well have been the world's most famous and influential intellectual." Humboldt's influence in the case of the landscape artist Church is especially interesting. If we examine the precise relationship between the German explorer and his American admirer, we gain an insight into how Humboldt transformed Church's life and signaled a new phase in the career of the artist. Church retraced Humboldt's travels in Ecuador and in Mexico. If we compare the texts available to Church and the comparison of Church's paintings and the texts and images of Humboldt's works we can arrive at new perspectives on Humboldt's extraordinary influence on American landscape painting in the nineteenth century.},

  abstract  = {The article provides historical background for Alexander von Humboldt's expedition into Russia in 1829. It includes information on Humboldt's works and publications in Russia over the course of his lifetime, as well as an explanation of the Russian scientific community's response to those works. Humboldt's ideas on the existence of an active volcano in Central Asia attracted the attention of two prominent Russian geographers, P. Semenov and P. Kropotkin, whose views on the nature of volcanism were quite different. P. Semenov personally met Humboldt in Berlin. P. Kropotkin made one of the most important geological discoveries of the 19th Century: he found the fresh volcanic cones near Lake Baikal. Soon after Humboldt's Russian expedition, and partly as a result of it, an important mineral was found in the Ilmen mountains - samarskite, which later gave its name to the chemical element Samarium, developed in 1879. At the beginning of the 20th Century, the Russian scientist V. Vernadskiy pointed out that samarskite was the first uranium-rich mineral found in Russia.},
