Cosmos: A Sketch of the Physical Description of the Universe began as a lecture series delivered by Humboldt at the University of Berlin, and was published in five volumes (the fifth was posthumous and completed based on Humboldt's notes). In the first volume, Humboldt paints a general "portrait of nature", describing the physical nature of outer space and the Earth.
