The conquest of scurvy by James Cook during his three famous
circumnavigations of 1768-1780 was a product of Cook's character,
of his leadership, and of the wisdom of the naturalists who
accompanied Cook; specialists who helped locate antiscorbutic
plants during stopovers. In this book, Dr. Cuppage shows the
importance of careful observation, and of controlled clinical
trials. This is an account of the lasting medical effects of Cook's
voyages as he tried to liberate mankind from the scourge of scurvy.
Cuppage captures the sense of adventure that explorers and
scientists share.
