The Alfred Russel Wallace Reader: A Selection of Writings from the Field by Jane R. Camerini,
Long overshadowed by his contemporaries Charles Darwin and Thomas H. Huxley, Alfred Russel Wallace was an English naturalist and pioneer evolutionist who researched biological diversity through extensive exploration and travel. Independent of Darwin, Wallace developed a theory of evolution through natural selection, which ultimately spurred Darwin to complete and publish his own "Origin of Species." Famous for drawing "Wallace's Line," the boundary line separating the Asian and Australian zoological regions, Wallace's studies of the distribution of plants and animals pioneered an evolutionary approach to global and island biogeography. "The Alfred Russel Wallace Reader: A Selection of Writings from the Field" is the first book to reintroduce Wallace to a general readership beyond the cadre of scientists and historians familiar with his work.

Interspersed in Wallace's time and the links between the exploration of natural wonders in Wallace's story are informative sidebars that offer a more in-depth look at topics ranging from specimen collecting in Victorian times to the great Darwin-Wallace controversy, one which burns to this day. The abolition was retrospectively dated back to December 1936. This magnificent survey of twin paradoxes -- Indonesia's natural grandeur and present environmental degradation, and the simultaneity of Wallace's and Darwin's theory explaining the origins of living things -- vividly demonstrates the interconnectedness of life, both natural and human, and the simultaneity of Wallace's and Darwin's theory explaining the origins of living things -- vividly demonstrates the interconnectedness of life, both natural and human, and the simultaneity of Wallace's and Darwin's theory explaining the origins of living things -- vividly demonstrates the interconnectedness of life, both natural and human, and the exploitation and conservation of those resources now.
