Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfred Russel Wallace is most known for his contributions to the theory of evolution by natural selection. He is a British explorer, naturalist, and scientist. His extensive travels to remote parts of the world, particularly the Amazon rainforest, are especially well-known. In his book "Palm Trees of the Amazon and Their Uses," Wallace provides a full explanation of the many different types of palm trees that can be found in the Amazon rainforest as well as how the people utilize them. He details the many resources that the palms provide, such as food, shelter, medicine, and other essentials for surviving in the jungle. The social and cultural practices of the indigenous people who rely on these palm trees are also discussed by Wallace. He also talks about the financial potential of these palms and their importance in the global trade of other goods. Throughout the whole book, Wallace emphasizes the need of preserving the Amazon rainforest and its diversity of plant and animal life. He calls attention to the dreadful consequences that deforestation and resource exploitation may have on the environment and the lives of indigenous people who depend on it. The book "Palm Trees of the Amazon and Their Uses" adds a lot to our knowledge of the Amazon rainforest and the value it has for both the locals and the rest of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by Alfred Russel Wallace was originally published in 1853 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Palm Trees of the Amazon and their Uses' is an article detailing Wallace's observations during his travels in South America. Alfred Russel Wallace was born on 8th January 1823 in the village of Llanbadoc, in Monmouthshire, Wales. Wallace was inspired by the travelling naturalists of the day and decided to begin his exploration career collecting specimens in the Amazon rainforest. He explored the Rio Negra for four years, making notes on the peoples and languages he encountered as well as the geography, flora, and fauna. While travelling, Wallace refined his thoughts about evolution and in 1858 he outlined his theory of natural selection in an article he sent to Charles Darwin. Wallace made a huge contribution to the natural sciences and he will continue to be remembered as one of the key figures in the development of evolutionary theory.

Download or read book The Amazon written by Mark J. Plotkin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Amazon is a land of superlatives. The complex ecosystem covers an area about the size of the continental U.S. The Amazon River discharges 57 million gallons of water per second--in two hours, this would be enough to supply all of New York City's 7.5 million residents with water for a year. Its flora and fauna are abundant. Approximately one of every four flowering plant species on earth resides in the Amazon. A single Amazonian river may contain more fish species than all the rivers in Europe combined. It is home to the world's largest anteater, armadillo, freshwater turtle, and spider, as well as the largest rodent (which weighs over 200 lbs.), catfish (250 lbs.), and alligator (more than half a ton). The rainforest, which contains approximately 390 billion trees, plays a vital role in stabilizing the global climate by absorbing massive amounts of carbon dioxide--or releasing it into the atmosphere if the trees are destroyed. Severe droughts in both Brazil and Southeast Asia have been linked to Amazonian deforestation, as have changing rainfall patterns in the U.S., Europe, and China. The Amazon also serves as home to millions of people. Approximately seventy tribes of isolated and uncontacted people are concentrated in the western Amazon, completely dependent on the land and river. These isolated groups have been described as the most marginalized peoples in the western hemisphere, with no voice in the decisions made about their futures and the fate of their forests. In this addition to the What Everyone Needs to Know® series, ecologist and conservation expert, Mark J. Plotkin, who has spent 40 years studying Amazonia, its peoples, flora, and fauna. The Amazon offers an engaging overview of this irreplaceable ecosystem and the challenges it faces.
