Description: Cook's Endeavour Journal: The Inside Story brings to life the record of one of the world's most famous expeditions, the circumnavigation of the globe by Lieutenant James Cook aboard HM Bark Endeavour. It is a timeless story of courageous exploration - the charting of New Zealand and Australia's eastern seaboard - and of high adventure: a stand-off with a hostile Brazilian army and a near-shipwreck that almost brought the voyage to a premature end. The voyage of the Endeavour helped make sense of the eighteenth-century world. Cook's Endeavour Journal, told in Cook's own words and in historical detail, will help you understand how.
