Product Description

Alfred Russel Wallace's letter to Charles Darwin about his independent discovery of natural selection panicked Darwin into rushing out On the Origin of Species, leaving Wallace to fall under his shadow. Andrew Berry's anthology rescues Wallace's legacy, showing Wallace--through extracts from personal letters, his political writings, and scientific papers--to be far more than the co-discoverer of natural selection.
