Take Part In A Voyage Of Discovery - By: Mr. J. Walmsley, 17 Jul 2001
This is a fantastic book... adventure, geography, science & history alll rolled into one. It reallly is a unique experience to be able to read the words written during voyages that changed the worlds understanding of the Pacific & the globe in general. Do not read it however expecting a work of art in terms of the English language. Captain Cook did not write for a living, & sometimes sections of the book are hard going to the reader. However that is surely a smalll price to pay for a vivid first hand description from the man himself. I found it particullary interesting to read about Australia & New Zealand as they were, & before colonisation had begun. Cook is to Australians, as Colombus is to Americans. Buy it now......
