Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace set out for the Amazon in 1848 to collect natural history specimens. During his time there, he spent almost two years travelling up the Rio Negro, a region few Europeans had explored. A fire on the return journey to England destroyed all of his collections but among the possessions rescued was a collection of sketches of fish, later presented to The Natural History Museum. This book is an account of Wallace's expedition describing the naturalist in the making, the tragic loss of his collections and how this affected his future. Throughout the book the role of chance in the making of naturalists and the course of science in general is explored. The work is illustrated with the fish sketches, palm drawings and scenes of life in the Amazon. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Januar 1823 in Llanbadoc bei Usk, Monmouthshire, Wales; 7. November 1913 in Broadstone bei Poole, Dorset, England) war ein weitgehend autodidaktisch gebildeter britischer Naturforscher. Bei seinem Aufenthalt im Malaiischen Archipel erkannte er, dass zwischen den indonesischen Inseln Borneo und Celebes eine biogeographische Grenze existiert, die später nach ihm als Wallace-Linie bezeichnet wurde. Unabhängig von Charles Darwin entwickelte er Ideen zur Evolutionstheorie. In seinen späteren Jahren engagierte er sich auch in sozialen Fragen. 9780565091439 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 466 8° , Hardcover/Pappeinband mit Schutzumschlag. …
