The Malay Archipelago (Library of the Indies)

by Alfred Wallace

The Malay Archipelago (Library of the Indies) Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Malay Archipelago is an extraordinarily accessible book written by noted British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace. A century and a half after it was published, this book remains one of the great classics of natural history and travel, on par with Charles Darwin's work. Full of a wealth of detail about pre-modern life in the Indonesian archipelago, The Malay Archipelago is a fascinating look at natural selection.

Synopsis:

A work of astounding scope and originality that provides some of the first evidence of the modern theory of evolution. Wallace, a contemporary of Charles Darwin, spent nearly a decade cataloging the plant and animal species which inhabited the unique geographical area of the Malay Archipelago, and remains to this day one of the most extensive works of natural history ever written.

Synopsis:

One of the great classics of natural history and travel, on par with Charles Darwin's work
