Description: "In terms of beautiful islands, the islands of New Zealand have always been a desirable place to be. For this reason, and down the ages, there have been many different groups of explorers who discovered these paradisical islands before Captain Cook appeared on the scene. The purpose of this book is to demonstrate that just one of those explorers discovered New Zealand, namely the Portuguese navigator, Captain Cristoval Mendonca in 1522."--From introduction.
