He spent four years from 1848 - 1852 exploring the Upper Amazon Basin, a vast area of rainforest where few Europeans had ever been before, collecting thousands of specimens. The book describes Wallace's arduous journey, looks at his development as a naturalist and explains how the loss of most of his specimens during his journey home affected his future" -- Naturalists Natural history 508 KNA 2004 C074 Or.
