Did Christopher Columbus discover America or a route to the Far East? Did James Cook achieve fame by mapping the known world? Were his maps so accurate that many were used right into the 20th Century? Cook, an 18th Century explorer, lived during a time when humankind was yet naïve and inexperienced in terms of understanding their environment. His legacy is quite astounding, given the fact that humanity had only begun to develop instrumentation. The people from Europe had never before seen Hawaii, Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica, nor crossed the Antarctic circle. He met and mingled with many different cultures, most of which were those of the South Pacific Ocean. He and his men even witnessed a human sacrifice. There were three voyages in all. The first one ran from 1768 to 1771 and included Tahiti, Australia, and New Zealand. The second voyage went from 1772 to 1775 and was mostly spent around the coast of Antarctica. Cook's third and final voyage went from 1776-1779. It entailed the western coast of North America and Alaska, where Cook fruitless sought for the fabled Northwest Passage. Did the Hawaiians murder James Cook? Was that a tragic incident that should have never happened? Christopher Columbus was an Italian explorer, navigator, and colonist who had a singular goal toward which he was driven. His courage was astounding, as he and his three small ships set sail across the Atlantic Ocean. Columbus and his men took precarious and dangerous journeys toward a blue horizon. All they had to depend upon were nautical charts, an astrolabe, and a quadrant. The maps he used were developed by more ancient astronomers such as Ptolemy and Eratosthenes - men who had never sailed the great sea. The legacy of Christopher Columbus is tarred by his tyranny toward the natives he came across in the New World - specifically the Arawaks and the Caribs. He also condoned slavery through his desperation to arrive back in Spain with treasures like those brought back by other explorers. By those who made it to India and the Far East. Despite the abuses he brought upon the indigent populations, Columbus's discoveries opened up a whole new world to trade and development. Spain was the first European country to establish colonies in America and South America, followed by Portugal, France, and Holland.

Captain James Cook one of the greatest maritime explorer of all time, only the acclaimed fifteenth century explorers, Christopher Columbus and Vasco da Gama, can stand with him. Bestselling author of FATAL STORM, BLIGH and FLINDERS, Rob Mundle, explores the life and travels of James Cook in a major biography for lovers of adventure and the romance of sail. Over three remarkable voyages of discovery into the Pacific in the latter part of the eighteenth century, Cook unravelled the centuries-old mystery surrounding the existence of Terra Australis Incognita - the great south land - he became the first explorer to circumnavigate New Zealand and prove it comprised two main islands, discovered the Hawaiian Islands, and much more. Cook was a man who pursued a teenager's dream that evolved from a chance encounter in a small seafront village on the east coast of England. It was a dream that became a reality and transported him to legendary status among all who mapped the world, on land and sea. Through the combination of hard-won skills as a seafarer, the talents of a self-taught navigator and surveyor, and an exceptional ability to lead and care for his men, Cook contributed to changing the shape of the world map more than anyone else.
