by Denise Carrington-Smith (Author)
Wallace was a wonderful man...a man full of wonder
Everything which took his interest, he studied as deeply as he could, yet, despite the growing recognition he received, he always remained quiet and humble. He was kind and generous, loyal, with a gentle sense of humour which enabled his expressions of grievance to be made without rancour.
Wallace was acclaimed in his time as one of the great minds, and like many others has fallen into the shadows of his friend and counterpart, Darwin. In this book the author takes you on a tour of the life and works of this great man. His work covered many subjects from evolution to political theory, and in his every endeavour, the result created a ripple in advancement of human knowledge.
Wallace could be among the greatest Englishmen ever to be born. For the sheer breadth and depth of his knowledge, his never ceasing work dedicated, not to the acquisition of personal wealth, but to the welfare of his fellow beings - he has no equal.
