The Spice Islands Voyage

ISBN: 0316881759
Author: Tim Severin
Description:
The Spice Islands Voyage: In search of Wallace is a book about a journey and a quest: a journey among the Spice Islands of equatorial Indonesia aboard a traditional native sailing vessel: a quest to rediscover a remarkable Englishman whose wanderings in the archipelago changed the way we see the natural world. Wallace was a brilliant and intrepid naturalist. His research and travels founded the science of zoo-geography and provided Charles Darwin with vital clues in developing the theory of evolution by natural selection, which Wallace had worked out independently, although his name is now overshadowed by that of his better known colleague.
