Impressions of great naturalists
Henry Fairfield Osborn
To know a science, it helps to know the people who made it. Henry Fairfield Osborn shares his personal impressions of great naturalists, chief among them Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin, whom he knew and admired. Warm, firsthand portraits of the giants of evolution. For the reader who wants the human side of natural history's founders. Meet the naturalists as living people.
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.
