书籍介绍
这本迷人的书围绕着贝茨在亚马逊河开创性旅行期间出版的两本杂志和他的经典作品《亚马逊河上的自然主义者》展开。除了从他的书中特别挑选的摘录外，还有从他的日记中复制的显示他作为艺术家和科学家的才能的页面。贝茨是阿尔弗莱德·拉塞尔·华莱士忠实的伙伴，1848年，他和华莱士一起去了亚马逊。在那里发现所谓的美味物种——那些被捕食者追逐的物种——已经进化成有毒物种以逃避攻击。这个想法后来被称为贝氏拟态。贝茨在亚马逊花了11年的时间，探索了大部分无人涉足的主要河流及其支流，故事发生在南美洲世界上面积*大的热带雨林地区。
贝茨于1859年回到英国时，年仅34岁。据他自己估计，他已经收集了大约712种哺乳动物、爬行动物、鸟类、鱼类和软体动物，以及大约14000种昆虫，其中不少于8000种是以前所不知道的。
This charming book revolves around the two journals Bates produced during his groundbreaking travels in the Amazon, and his classic work The Naturalist on the River Amazons. Alongside specially selected excerpts from his book are facsimile reproductions of the pages from his journals demonstrating his talents as an artist as well as a scientist. Bates, a trusted companion of Alfred Russel Wallace, travelled with him to the Amazon in 1848. There he became fascinated by close similarities in appearance between unrelated butterflies. He found that so-called tasty species - those that are sought after by predators - had evolved to look like toxic species to escape being attacked. This idea became known as Batesian mimicry. Bates spent a total of 11 years in the Amazon, exploring the vast network of largely unvisited major rivers and their tributaries, set in the world"s largest area of tropical rain forest in South America. By the time he returned to England in 1859, still only 34 years old, Bates had collected, by his own estimate, some 712 species of mammals, reptiles, birds, fishes and molluscs, and about 14,000 species of insects, of which no less than 8,000 were previously unknown.
编辑评论
“1863年，昆虫学家亨利·沃尔特·贝茨出版了一本长达11年的杂志《亚马逊河上的自然学家》。这本杂志的灵感部分来自达尔文1831-36年在小猎犬号(Beagle)上的旅行日记。这个迷人的部分摹写证明了他的话是正确的。”《自然》
"The best book of Natural History Travels ever published in England," said Charles Darwin of entomologist Henry Walter Bates"s 1863 "The Naturalist on the River Amazons", an 11-year journal inspired partly by Darwin"s diary of his 1831-36 journey on the HMS Beagle. This enchanting part-facsimile justifies his words." Nature
