ABOUT
This title offers a brief account of James Cook's early life, written as far as possible in his own words, taken from his journals.
There is emphasis on scurvy and ways in which Cook minimized its effects and attention is also given to the work of Lind and Bachstrom. The book aims not only to make Cook and his shipmates live, but also to provide the reader with a picture of the lands he visited and their inhabitants.
Includes monochrome images and illustrations.
Drawn portrait on title page.

Immaculate with only wear/repairs on dust jacket and faint marks on end papers, pages otherwise near new, no stamps or inscriptions. Images depict all need to know detail.
