La obra definitiva que recoge la apasionante vida del controvertido naturalista Alfred Russel Wallace de forma íntegra y armónica. «Un día de 1858, mientras estaba enfermo y confinado en su choza en la isla de Ternate (ahora Indonesia), Wallace tuvo una intuición. Llegó a comprender cómo evolucionaban las especies: cambiaban porque los individuos más aptos sobrevivían y se reproducían, transmitiendo sus características ventajosas a sus descendientes. Wallace escribió de inmediato a alguien que sabía que estaba interesado en el tema, se llamaba Charles Darwin». James McNish, Natural History Museum, Londres. Al explorar la cuenca del Amazonas y el archipiélago malayo, Alfred Russel Wallace estableció una conexión entre la biogeografía, que se ocupa de la distribución espacial de las especies en la biosfera, y la teoría de la evolución, que nos habla de los orígenes y extinciones de las especies a lo largo del tiempo. Contemporáneo de Darwin, alcanzó las mismas ideas sobre la selección natural, llegando incluso a adelantarse al eminente naturalista en algunos aspectos como el de la herencia o el significado evolutivo de los colores de plumas, escamas y pelajes de los animales. Pero la figura de este colosal naturalista no quedó solo en el ámbito de las ciencias si no que su labor, muy desconocida hasta la presente obra, se extendió a otros ámbitos de las humanidades y los movimientos sociales: la promoción de los trabajadores y las mujeres, la oposición al racismo, la eugenesia, la vacunación obligatoria... Denunció la industrialización desmedida y fue uno de los pioneros del ecologismo moderno. Superando decididamente el campo de las ciencias naturales convencionales, Wallace se internó en el mundo del espiritualismo de la época victoriana, lo que le granjeó numerosos detractores, encarnizados enemigos; y que generó para la historia de la ciencia interesantes debates filosóficos. Explorador, naturalista, geógrafo, antropólogo, filósofo y analista político... En el momento de su muerte Wallace había escrito más de veinte libros y más de mil artículos y cartas que fueron publicadas. Su vida representa un legado de aciertos y errores; pero sobre todo de trabajo incansable, intuición desmedida e inspiración para las generaciones venideras.

This early work by Alfred Russel Wallace was originally published in 1913 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Social Environment and Moral Progress' is a work that looks at various civilisations and cultural environments and analyses their social morality. Alfred Russel Wallace was born on 8th January 1823 in the village of Llanbadoc, in Monmouthshire, Wales. Wallace was inspired by the travelling naturalists of the day and decided to begin his exploration career collecting specimens in the Amazon rainforest. He explored the Rio Negra for four years, making notes on the peoples and languages he encountered as well as the geography, flora, and fauna. While travelling, Wallace refined his thoughts about evolution and in 1858 he outlined his theory of natural selection in an article he sent to Charles Darwin. Wallace made a huge contribution to the natural sciences and he will continue to be remembered as one of the key figures in the development of evolutionary theory.

The English naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) occupies a unique position in the history of thought. With the exception of Darwin, Wallace was the most important developer of evolutionary theory in biology. He is also recognized as the father of modern biogeographical studies, and can safely be considered history's pre-eminent tropical naturalist. His work extended into many other areas as well, including anthropology, physical geography and geology, the theory of land use, social reform, and cosmology. Further still, he was the foremost defender of occult studies of his day. This fascinating anthology of Wallace's work, which includes a complete bibliography, reveals the scope and significance of this complex, dedicated scientist. In the many excerpts from the periodicals of his time, and the editorial introduction provided to each selection, the historical context of Wallace's life and work are brought into focus. This unique volume is the first to present the full range of the work of this major figure in science and natural history, and is compelling reading for both scientific and social historians.

In this pioneering study of the first major challenges to Darwinism, Peter J. Bowler examines the competing theories of evolution, identifies their intellectual origins, and describes the process by which the modern concept of evolution emerged. Describing the variety of influences that drove scientists to challenge Darwin's conclusions, Bowler reevaluates the influence of social forces on the scientific community and explores the broad philosophical, ideological, and social implications of scientific theories.

The need to understand and address large-scale environmental problems that are difficult to study in controlled environments—issues ranging from climate change to overfishing to invasive species—is driving the field of ecology in new and important directions. Observation and Ecology documents that transformation, exploring how scientists and researchers are expanding their methodological toolbox to incorporate an array of new and reexamined observational approaches—from traditional ecological knowledge to animal-borne sensors to genomic and remote-sensing technologies—to track, study, and understand current environmental problems and their implications. The authors paint a clear picture of what observational approaches to ecology are and where they fit in the context of ecological science. They consider the full range of observational abilities we have available to us and explore the challenges and practical difficulties of using a primarily observational approach to achieve scientific understanding. They also show how observations can be a bridge from ecological science to education, environmental policy, and resource management. Observations in ecology can play a key role in understanding our changing planet and the consequences of human activities on ecological processes. This book will serve as an important resource for future scientists and conservation leaders who are seeking a more holistic and applicable approach to ecological science.

"Wallace, together with Darwin was the founder of modern evolutionary theory, and when Darwin received Wallace's paper of 1858 (a year before the publication of the Origin of Species), he wrote to Lyell "All my originality, whatever it may amount to, will be smashed"."I never saw a more striking coincidence.Your words (referring to Lyell's earlier warnings that Darwin might be anticipated) have come true with a vengeance." In 1858 Wallace was already preparing an announcement of an importent zoogeographical discovery, which proposed a boundary line dividing the archipelago of Indo-Malayan and Australian zoological regions. The culmination of Wallace's approach was achieved in his monumental two-volume "The geographical Distribution." and it is a pioneer-work in zoogeography."--Abebooks website.
