Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Captain Cook¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s Three Voyages Round The World: With A Sketch Of His Life is a historical non-fiction book written by James Cook, a renowned British explorer and navigator. The book chronicles Cook¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s three voyages around the world, which took place between 1768 and 1779. The first voyage saw Cook set sail in the HMS Endeavour to observe the transit of Venus across the sun from Tahiti. He then went on to chart the coast of New Zealand and the eastern coast of Australia, which he claimed for Britain. The second voyage saw Cook attempt to find the fabled southern continent, which he believed existed. He sailed further south than any other explorer before him, but was forced to turn back due to harsh weather conditions. He then went on to explore the South Pacific, including the Society Islands, Tonga, and Easter Island. The third voyage saw Cook attempt to find a northwest passage through the Arctic, which would provide a faster trade route to Asia. However, he was unable to find a passage and instead explored the Pacific Northwest region of North America, including Alaska and Hawaii. The book also includes a sketch of Cook¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s life, from his humble beginnings as a farmhand to his rise as a celebrated explorer. It discusses his achievements, his relationships with his crew and the indigenous peoples he encountered, and his tragic death at the hands of Hawaiian natives. Overall, Captain Cook¿¿¿¿¿¿¿s Three Voyages Round The World: With A Sketch Of His Life is a fascinating account of one of the greatest explorers in history and his incredible adventures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
