Alfred Russel Wallace: Letters and Reminiscences, Vol. 1
Alfred Russel Wallace and James Marchant
Before he co-discovered natural selection, Alfred Russel Wallace was a curious young man writing home from the field. This first volume of letters and reminiscences traces his early years, his bond with Darwin, and the making of a great mind. Intimate history from science's most generous rival. Follow a giant of biology from his very first steps.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
