Résumé
Virtually unknown today, Alfred Russel Wallace was the co-discoverer, of natural selection with Charles Darwin and an eminent scientist who stood out among his Victorian peers as a man of formidable mind and equally outsized personality. Now Michael Shermer rescues Wallace from the shadow of Darwin in this landmark biography. Turning his keen judgment and incisive analysis to Wallace's life, Shermer restores a leading figure in the rise of modern science to his rightful place.
