Saluting an era of adventure and knowledge seeking, fifteen
original essays consider the motivations of European explorers of
the Pacific, the science and technology of eighteenth-century
exploration, and the significance of Spanish, French, and British
voyages. Among the topics discussed are the quest by enlightenment
scientists for new species of plant and animal life, and their
fascination with Native cultures; advances in shipbuilding,
navigation, medicine, and diet that made extended voyages possible;
and the lasting significance of the explorers' collections,
artwork, and journals.
