Hardback. Condizione: New. A Comprehensive Guide to the Objects Associated with the Voyages of James Cook Held at New Zealands National Museum.Almost 250 years after James Cook first sighted Aotearoa New Zealand in October 1769, there is still world-wide interest in all aspects of his three voyages of exploration in the Pacific between 1768 and 1779: discovery (by Europeans), astronomy, natural science, and interactions with indigenous communities.

Richly illustrated and accessibly written, it is a treasure trove.…
