Into the Wild Blue - Captain Cook and the First Explorations of the Pacific
Summer is coming and it's time to take off into the Pacific Ocean with one of our favorite writers, Tony Horowitz, as he follows the 18th Century routes of Captain James Cook, exploring the Pacific in one of the last great voyages of discovery. Tony Horowitz is at his amusing best in Blue Latitudes: Boldly going Where Captain Cook Has gone Before, retracing Captain Cook's epic voyages from Tasmania to Oregon, recounting exotic scenes of taboo rituals, cannibal feasts and human sacrifice.
