The Naturalist on the River Amazons

About this book

H.W. Bates was one of the most influential biologists of the 19th century, and was noted for the accuracy and vitality of his accounts of Amazonian life. He was an important evolutionary biologist, and was a contemporary and friend of Darwin, Wallace and Spruce. The book is a fascinating account of Bates' years spent exploring the Amazon basin, filled with observations of the flora and fauna, climate, history and geography, and the human inhabitants of the region. Bates spent a number of years living in the region of Tefé (known at the time as Ega), and the region is still recognisable today from his descriptions. This edition includes modern colour photographs of habitats and places described by Bates.
