[edit] SCIENCE AND EXPLORATION IN THE PACIFIC
Deriving from an initiative of the National Maritime Museum and the Royal Society, these are studies of scientific and cultural discoveries made on Cook's 1768 voyage to the South Seas in 'Endeavour', and of issues arising from this and subsequent Pacific voyages by European explorers.
Explorations of the South Seas, from Cook's first voyage in the Endeavour (1768-71) The exploration of the Pacific in the eighteenth century by western Europeans has an enduring fascination for both specialists and a wider public. Within this field, Cook's voyages have a particular appeal: they include exciting elements of danger, scientific investigation, encounters between different cultures. The essays in this volume take as their point of departure Cook's first voyage in the Endeavour (1768-71); they reevaluate its political and social context, look at the expectations and outcomes of the event, and focus on the scientific and cultural issues emerging from it.
