Book Description
This is an account of one of the greatest adventures of all time by the foremost chronicler of Pacific exploration. In it you will discover what it meant to sail with Captain Cook, why the Endeavour sought out the mysterious and uncharted Great South Land and what kind of a man Cook was. The exploration of the eastern coast of Australia and the islands of New Zealand coincided with the birth of the sciences of botany, zoology and ethnology, and dramatic advances in navigation and astronomy and important discoveries in medicine and art. It was also part of an ongoing power play between three empires: British, French and Spanish.
