Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) was a British naturalist,
explorer, geographer and biologist, best remembered as the
co-discoverer, with Darwin, of natural selection. His extensive
fieldwork and advocacy of the theory of evolution led to him being
considered one of the nineteenth century's foremost biologists. He
was later moved by a variety of personal experiences to examine the
concept of spirituality, but his exploration into the potential for
compatibility between spiritualism and natural selection alienated
him from the scientific community. He was also a social activist,
highly critical of unjust social and economic systems in
nineteenth-century Britain, and one of the first prominent
scientists to express concern over the environmental impact of
human activity. This autobiography was first published in 1905.
Volume 2 deals with his many eminent acquaintances, including
Darwin and Huxley, his lecture tour in America, and his involvement
with spiritualism and with social activism.
