Description

The Cook Voyages: Encounters with Te Papa A comprehensive guide to the objects associated with James Cook's voyages of exploration held at New Zealand's national museum. Almost 250 years after Cook first sighted Aotearoa in 1769, his three Pacific voyages continue to fascinate people worldwide. This book brings together a collection of Māori, Pacific and Native American objects from the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, one of the few significant institutional collections that have not been fully described until now. Richly illustrated and written in an accessible style, it provides a treasure trove of information on these unique artifacts. With its wealth of knowledge and engaging presentation, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of exploration, cultural exchange, and the natural world.
