Canadian author Grant Allen dabbled in a vast number of literary genres over the course of his career, and of all of his published work, perhaps none more accurately depicts his unique talents than Science in Arcady. This delightful essay collection touches on a number of topics, but many of the pieces are tied together with themes of travel and science.
