Wallace in Wales
- Synopsis
- Some of Charles Darwin’s fame for the discovery of evolutionary theory is these days shared with fellow scientist Alfred Russel Wallace. Traces his life in South Wales and the Welsh borders, where Wallace spent his formative years, trained as a land surveyor, but became increasing interested in natural history. He travelled through the Neath Valley district and wrote detailed accounts of his botanical and geological observations, eventually leaving Wales to travel widely, collecting natural history specimens.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
