Did James Cook achieve fame by mapping the known world? Were his maps so accurate that many were used right into the 20th Century? Cook, an 18th Century explorer, lived during a time when humankind was yet naïve and inexperienced in terms of understanding their environment. His legacy is quite astounding, given the fact that mankind had only begun to develop instrumentation. The people from Europe had never before seen Hawaii, Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, nor crossed the Antarctic circle.Inside you'll read aboutJames Cook, Master's MateAustralia and New ZealandAntarctica and the Search for the South PoleThe Fateful Third VoyageAnd much more!Cook met and mingled with many different cultures, most of which were those of the South Pacific Ocean.
