Henry Walter Bates - The naturalist on the river Amazon - London, John Murray, 1910 - 394 p - 19,5 x 13,5 cm A record of adventures, habits of animals, sketches of Brazilian and Indian life, and aspects of nature under the equator, during eleven years of travel Bates, a pioneering British naturalist and close associate of Alfred Russel Wallace, documents thousands of species—many previously unknown to science—and provides some of the earliest and most compelling evidence for evolution by natural selection. His observations on mimicry, insect behavior, and rainforest ecology shaped modern biology and continue to be cited today. As an early 20th‑century John Murray printing, it combines scholarly value with strong collector appeal. Well‑preserved copies are increasingly sought after by enthusiasts of natural history, exploration literature, and evolutionary science. Voorin wat lelijk vastgezet met papieren strips.
