Alfred Russel Wallace : Works
Sunday, 13 September 2015
Dear Reader,
I've just been sorting through some photographs from my recent jaunt to Indonesia. I’ll be putting up a few in the near future to accompany a piece about what proved to be a highlight of the trip, following in the wake of Alfred Russell Wallace (8 January 1823 – 7 November 1913). Well, almost. His accounts of travel in Borneo seem to centre around Suluwesi and the north. I can't actually find reference to him setting foot in Central Kalimantan, where we went. But the flora and fauna he describes was very similar to what we saw on our voyage up the Sekonyer river, and into the heart of Borneo. Meanwhile, here is a free collection of Alfred Russel Wallace’s works, offering various formats (Kindle etc, HTML and text), for your andragogical elevation and delight. I hope you enjoy.
