In this investigation of tropical life, Alfred Russel Wallace (1823–1913) explores in detail the features of the equatorial forest belt. First published in 1878, the book addresses some of the most delightful mysteries of contemporary evolutionary theory, from colour-changing caterpillars to the meteorology of the Amazon.
