Rienits, Rex and Thea The Voyages of Captain Cook
London Paul Hamlyn 1968 0600006190 / 9780600006190 Hardcover Good in Good dust jacket
157 pages, well illustrated (some in color) , maps, cloth, DJ, bookplate otherwise very good. 8-1/2 by 11 inches. From the dust jacket: "The story of Cook's three historic voyages between 1768 and 1780 is one of the most remarkable in history. Authors Rex and Thea Rienits tell how he discovered and charted much of the Pacific that we know today form the west coast of Canada and the Hawaiian Islands to New Caledonia; established, by sailing around it, that New Zealand was two narrowly separated islands and not part of a mythical continent; disproved the Dutch belief that New Holland was entirely barren by traversing the whole length of its fertile coast, so paving the way for British settlement eighteen years later; confirmed that a strait separated New Guinea from what is now Australia. Excerpts from the diaries of Cook and his companions add a direct feeling of history in the making. The illustrations, of which there are 38 in colour and over 140 in black and white, include many of Cook's maps and charts, plans of the ships, drawings and paintings by Webber, Hodges, Dane and Parkinson, among others, and photographs, specially taken for this book, of navigational instruments similar to those used on the voyages. " PM380 ; 157 pages
