Expertly selected and introduced by the eminent maritime historian Glyndwr Williams, this volume follows Cook's remarkable journeys aboard Endeavour, Resolution and Discovery, documenting his charting of New Zealand's coastline, the east coast of Australia, the islands of the Pacific, the Antarctic seas and the North Pacific. Combining Cook's own vivid observations with scholarly commentary, the book offers an engaging account of exploration, navigation and cross-cultural encounters during one of history's greatest eras of discovery.\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n   \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n   Published by The Folio Society in 1999 (Fourth Printing), this beautifully produced edition reflects the Society's renowned standards of craftsmanship.
