華萊士(Alfred Russel Wallace)與查爾斯·達爾文(Charles Darwin)各自獨立且幾乎同時發現了「天擇演化論(Natural Selection)」。
然而,華萊士的名字往往被達爾文的光芒所掩蓋。
本書透過生動的文字與精美的插畫,帶領讀者跟隨華萊士的腳步深入熱帶雨林與神祕群島進行探險,
揭開這位被低估的科學先驅如何透過不懈的探索,拼湊出生命演化的偉大真相。
Follow Victorian naturalist and explorer Alfred Russel Wallace on his intrepid journeys across the globe and find out how he developed his own theory of evolution in this beautiful illustrated gift hardback.
In 1858, Alfred Russel Wallace’s travels in the Amazon Basin and Malay Archipelago led him to discover natural selection independently of Charles Darwin. Darwin''s Rival traces Wallace’s life from his childhood in the Welsh countryside to his rise to prominence among the scientific community, via dense tropical jungles and perilous journeys – and shines a light on one of the most important contributors to the theory of evolution. With evocative illustrations by Harry Tennant, this stunning gift book will appeal to children and adults alike, and is the perfect introduction to the man so often eclipsed by his contemporary and friend Charles Darwin.
