Naturalists in Paradise: Wallace, Bates and Spruce in the Amazon

This book tells the stories of three young English naturalists who exxplored the Amazon and reflects on their experiences and discoveries in the world's richest ecosystem. It shows how their research changed much of our understanding of the natural world, and laid the foundations for further scientific progress including Darwin's theories and the use of quinine to fight malaria.
