"The European exploration of the Pacific Ocean in the eighteenth century is one of the great stories of human endeavour." "The Voyage of the Endeavour begins with this story in all its intricacy and fascination. It ends with Captain James Cook, his achievements and motivations. It shows why this man can be regarded as the greatest explorer of all time, and one of the makers of the modern imagination."--BOOK JACKET.
