Cook: The Life and Extraordinary Voyages of Captain James Cook by Nicholas Thomas,

Cook: The Life and Extraordinary Voyages of Captain James Cook by Nicholas Thomas,
The publication of Nicholas Thomas's brilliant Cook heralds what will be the definitive chronicle of the three historic and world-changing voyages made by Captain James Cook in the 1770s. Blending an elegant, assured style with bold, cross-disciplinary originality, Thomas breathes life into the complex and controversial legacy of an often-misunderstood man. Commonly regarded as the greatest sea explorer of all time, cook wrote that his ambition led him "not only farther than any man has been before me, but as far as I think it possible for man to go." At a time when ships were routinely lost around the English coast, this son of a Yorkshire peasant made history by making geography--sailing through southern seas previously known only as a blank space on the maps, charting the eastern Australian coast, circumnavigating New Zealand and putting many Pacific islands on the map, exploring the northwest coast of North America. His epic journeys captured the imagination of his time, introducing a European public to heretofore unheard-of animals and plants, a barren Arctic and Antarctic, and an erotically charged tropical world. His lieutenants--including George Vancouver and William Bligh--became legendary captains in their own right. Exploits among Aleuts, Maoris, Tahitians, and many other peoples combined to make Cook a celebrity, a legend, and a hero. James Cook is not, however, viewed by all as a heroic figure. Some Hawiaiians demonize him as a syphilitic racist who had a catastrophic effect on local health. Indigenous Australians often see him as the violent despossessor of their lands. Exploring complicated, interrelated issues from a variety of viewpoints--as has never been donebefore--Thomas offers greater understanding of a fascinating time and place and new perspective on a man torn between modern and primitive ideas, caught between conqueror and victim.
