No-one has been more crucial in the history of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Ocean than Captain Cook. On his three epic voyages he mapped much of the world's largest ocean and brought it and its people to the attention of the world for the first time. The reader is introduced to the remarkable achievements of this humane man and outstanding discoverer in this illustrated, facts-based book.
