As Wallace, often under conditions of terrible hardship and sickness, battles through jungles, lives with headhunters, and collects beetles, butterflies and birds-of-paradise, he makes discoveries about the workings of biology that have shaped our view of the world ever since.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42210367438928,"sku":"9780141394404","price":35.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9780141394404_1.jpg?v=1775801166","url":"https:\/\/beaumarisbooks.com.au\/products\/malay-archipelago","provider":"Beaumaris Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
