Description

This assortment of poems draws inspiration from the discoveries of 19th-century British scientist Alfred Russel Wallace–known for his explorations of the Amazonian rainforest, the Malay archipelago, and closely associated with Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution. This collection traces Wallace’s travels and expeditions, recalling the scientist’s first impressions of exotic flora and fauna recalled in his journals and includes illustrations and photographs of specimens collected by Wallace during his journeys.
