[edit] 'ENDEAVOUR'

This volume reveals the story of one of the greatest journeys of exploration and discovery ever undertaken.

This beautifully illustrated book gives a vivid account of life on board the Endeavour - and its epic journey into the unknown. Captain James Cook's three-year voyage resulted in the mapping of New Zealand and the east coast of Australia. According to the British government - who wished to deceive the world to its true purpose - it was merely a scientific expedition to observe the transit of the planet Venus across the Sun, a measurement that could help establish the scale of the universe itself. Instead the Endeavour turned out to be one of the greatest voyages of discovery ever undertaken by man. The narrative brings to life the main characters, and the reader feels as if he is with Cook, Joseph Banks and his sailors as their ship becomes the first ship to enter the Pacific Ocean and to know her precise whereabouts on the surface of the earth.
