Pacific Exploration

Voyages of Discovery from Captain Cook's Endeavour to the Beagle

Glyn Williams , Nigel Rigby , Pieter van der Merwe

Focusing on science, this history records the growing European understanding and control of the Pacific through the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Extensively illustrated with period artworks, it explores the geographical, botanical and zoological surveys undertaken by Cook and those who followed, including Vancouver’s charting of the northwest American coast, Flinders’ circumnavigation of Australia, and Darwin’s voyage to the Galapagos.
