Captain Cook Rediscovered is the first modern study to frame
Captain James Cook’s career from a North American vantage.
Although Cook is inextricably linked to the South Pacific in the
popular imagination, his crowning navigational and scientific
achievements took place in the polar regions. David L. Nicandri
acknowledges the cartographic accomplishments of the Australasian
first voyage but focuses on the second- and third-voyage discovery
missions in the extreme latitudes, where Cook pioneered the science
of iceberg and icepack formation. A truly modern appraisal of early
polar science, Captain Cook Rediscovered resonates in the climate
change era.
