Description
The Annotated Malay Archipelago by Alfred Russel Wallace A comprehensive and corrected edition of a Victorian naturalist's travels through island Southeast Asia. First published in 1869, this account has been reprinted numerous times with introductions, but this annotated edition provides the first thorough explanation, update, and correction of the original text. Wallace's work contains many errors, including incorrect dates and place names, as well as remarkable anecdotes. This edition reveals his work as never before by correcting the text against Wallace's letters and notebooks, and enriching it with modern identifications. The result is a more accurate understanding of Wallace's journey through the Malay Archipelago. With hundreds of explanatory notes and an historical introduction, this annotated edition provides a unique insight into Wallace's travels and the natural history of Southeast Asia during the 19th century.
