Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Indefatigably researched; deftly written. The Cook story is forever enthralling. There's adventure and danger. There's tragic death."--"The Wall Street Journal " "A fascinating double biography of two endlessly interesting men." --"Book" magazine "Collingridge intercuts finely detailed chapters on Cook's exciting major explorations with her ancestor's more bookish investigation of newly discovered maps. An excellent booka careful and deliberate account of exciting historical and psychological events."--"Publishers Weekly " "Collingridge goes beyond the usual litany of what he did and tries to get at who he was. Her work on Cook is excellent, and her book is a worthy addition to the bookshelf." --"The Columbus Dispatch
