Publisher's Synopsis
Alfred Russel Wallace's ""Palm Trees Of The Amazon: And Their Uses"" is a comprehensive study of the various species of palm trees found in the Amazon region of South America, and their many practical applications. The book is divided into two parts, with the first providing an overview of the different types of palms and their physical characteristics, while the second delves into their uses, including food, medicine, construction, and more. Wallace's meticulous research and detailed descriptions make this book an invaluable resource for botanists, ecologists, and anyone interested in the natural world. Originally published in 1853, ""Palm Trees Of The Amazon"" remains a fascinating and informative read over 150 years later.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
