Description: "In the more than two hundred years since his death, Cook's reputation has been much discussed, opinion ranging from celebration of his achievement to more subjective assessments of the long-term implications of his voyages in those countries of the Pacific which he visited." "The thirteen essays in this book, grouped in four sections, continue the debate."--Jacket.
