Highly readable narrative of the life of man who launched the exploration of the Pacific, the western coast of America, Australia and New Zealand. He became a victim of his own ignorant arrogance. He was a great voyager nonetheless, who lit the way for the British Empire, mapping the islands, their geography, flora and fauna.
