About this book
"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.
