History of Missing Nature

Feelings of joy and happiness enveloped naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace when he first set foot in Bogor (Buitenzorg). As written in his book The Malay Archipelago (1869): For people who have lived in hotter areas for a long time, Buitenzorg is a comfortable place, the air is always fresh and pleasant.
