"Voyages of Discovery" is the story of the last great age of
European sea exploration, when state-supported expeditions driven
by both scientific and political motives set out to map the
remaining unknown parts of the globe. Focusing on the voyages of
the preeminent explorer, Captain James Cook, who commanded three
round-the-world expeditions between 1768 and 1780, Lynne Withey
illuminates the Pacific islanders' views of their "discoverers" as
well.
