Cook

This chronicle of the life and voyages of Captain James Cook pays special attention to his three major expeditions across the Pacific, and his role in mapping the previously-uncharted areas of the globe. The author pays justified tribute to the man from a humble Yorkshire background who came to be regarded as the greatest sea explorer in history, while still presenting the less-heroic views some indigenous peoples had of him.
