Drawing on the collections and scholarship of the National Maritime Museum, the authors examine key expeditions undertaken by British, French, Spanish and other naval powers, including the later voyages associated with figures such as Cook's successors, La Pérouse, Bligh, Vancouver and Flinders. The narrative places these journeys within their wider scientific, political and imperial contexts, highlighting navigation, cartography, natural history and cross-cultural encounters with Indigenous Pacific societies.\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    Published in 2005 by the University of Western Australia Press, this illustrated volume combines authoritative scholarship with strong visual material drawn from maps, artworks and contemporary documents, making it both an academic resource and an engaging general history. It stands as an important modern synthesis of Pacific exploration during a formative period that directly influenced the mapping and colonisation of Australia and the wider Pacific world. This book would particularly appeal to readers interested in Pacific exploration, Australian maritime history, and collectors of well-illustrated historical studies.\"\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n   \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/font\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n   \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n    Light wear only.
