Book Synopsis Alfred Russel Wallace in the Amazon by : Sandra Knapp
Book excerpt: "Written by Museum botanist Dr Sandra Knapp, this compact little book explores Wallace's Amazonian expedition. He spent four years from 1848 - 1852 exploring the Upper Amazon Basin, a vast area of rainforest where few Europeans had ever been before, collecting thousands of specimens. The book describes Wallace's arduous journey, looks at his development as a naturalist and explains how the loss of most of his specimens during his journey home affected his future" --
