Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) was one of the most famous scientists of his time, both for his independent realization of the theory of natural selection and his pioneer work in biogeography and other areas of natural history. For many years, Charles Darwin eclipsed Wallace's contributions to evolutionary biology, but Wallace is rapidly re-emerging from the shadows as a highly important figure in his own right. This new set comprises the first-ever collection of Wallace's writings on evolution. Volume One gathers more than sixty of his articles, essays, and reviews from numerous Victorian periodicals, reset in new typography. Volumes Two and Three contain facsimile reprints of his two books, Darwinism (1889) and Natural Selection and Tropical Nature (1891).
