ALFRED RUSSELL WALLACE
By Patrick Armstrong
Synopsis
Sometimes referred to as the "Father of Biogeography," Alfred Russel Wallace has come to be known as the co-originator of the theory of evolution through natural selection, and he also wrote extensively on zoology, botany, anthropology, politics, astronomy, and psychology. Although notorious in his day for his unpopular and eccentric beliefs, he is still recognized as one of the leading figures in nineteenth-century British science. In this book, the author illuminates the many facets of Wallace's long life, which extended from 1823 until the eve of World War I.
