"Man's Place in the Universe," by British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, was originally published in 1904. It is a fascinating work on astronomy that deals with important aspects of cosmology and analyses the possibilities of life existing elsewhere in the universe.
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.
