This early work by Alfred Russel Wallace was originally published in 1878 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Tropical Nature, and Other Essays' is a collection of essays including Wallace's observations on equatorial vegetation, animal life, and sexual. Alfred Russel Wallace was born on 8th January 1823 in the village of Llanbadoc, in Monmouthshire, Wales. Wallace was inspired by the travelling naturalists of the day and decided to begin his exploration career collecting specimens in the Amazon rainforest. He explored the Rio Negra for four years, making notes on the peoples and languages he encountered as well as the geography, flora, and fauna. While travelling, Wallace refined his thoughts about evolution and in 1858 he outlined his theory of natural selection in an article he sent to Charles Darwin. Wallace made a huge contribution to the natural sciences and he will continue to be remembered as one of the key figures in the development of evolutionary theory.

Autorenporträt
Alfred Russell Wallace (1823 - 1913) wurde in Usk, Monmouthshire geboren. Er arbeitete zunächst als Landvermesser, Zeichner und Kartograph. In Leicester machte er Bekanntschaft mit Henry Bates, der Wallaces Sammel- und Leseleidenschaft sowie dessen Begeisterung für die Reiseberichte Humboldts und Darwins teilte. Zusammen reisten sie 1848 nach Brasilien, erkundeten das Amazonasbecken, sammelten dort lebende Tierarten und machten diverse Aufzeichnungen. Wallace reiste 1852 zurück nach England und veröffentlichte seine Notizen. 1854 begab er sich für weitere Sammelarbeiten auf eine achtjährige Reise in den Malayischen Archipel, während der er seine Gedanken zur natürlichen Selektion niederschrieb. Darwin starb am 7. November 1913 in Broadstone, Dorset.
