Описание: Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913), co-discoverer of natural selection, was second only to Charles Darwin as the 19th century`s most noted English naturalist.

Описание: A Study of the Results of Scientific Research in Relation to the Unity or Plurality of Worlds. With 8 diagrams in the text and 2 charts at the end. First published in 1903 and reprinted from the third edition of 1904. This work was the first serious attempt by a biologist to evaluate the likelihood of life on other planets, which drew the conclusion that Earth was the only planet in the solar system that could possibly support life mainly because it was the only one in which water could exist in the liquid phase. Wallace (1823-1913) was a British naturalist, explorer, geographer, anthropologist and biologist. He is best known for conceiving the theory of evolution through natural selection - his paper on the subject being jointly published with some of Charles Darwin's wrtings in 1858. He was the 19th century's leading expert on the geographical distribution of animal species and his interest in natural history resulted in his being one of the first prominent scientists to raise concerns over the environmentall impact of human activity. Aside from his scientific work he was a social activist who was critical of what he saw as an unjust social and economical system, and he was a prolific writer on both scientific and social issues.

Описание: The present work is an attempt to collect and summarize the existing information on the Distribution of Land Animals; and to explain the more remarkable and interesting of the facts, by means of established laws of physical and organic change. The main idea, which is here worked out in some detail for the whole earth, was stated sixteen years ago in the concluding pages of a paper on the "Zoological Geography of the Malay Archipelago," which appeared in the Journal of Proceedings of the Linnean Society for 1860; and again, in a paper read before the Royal Geographical Society in 1863, it was briefly summarized in the following passage: - "My object has been to show the important bearing of researches into the natural history of every part of the world, upon the study of its past history. An accurate knowledge of any groups of birds or of insects and of their geographical distribution, may enable us to map out the islands and continents of a former epoch, -the amount of difference that exists between the animals of adjacent districts being closely related to preceding geological changes. By the collection of such minute facts, alone, can we hope to fill up a great gap in the past history of the earth as revealed by geology, and obtain some indications of the existence of those ancient lands which now lie buried beneath the ocean, and have left us nothing but these living records of their former existence
