from Penguin Classics
Price: $7.74

Customer Review:
I wanted to like this book. I really did. When I saw it online, I thought that it looked interesting. The few reviews were favorable. I enjoy maritime tales, stories and life. I thought that pirates and life aboard ships were interesting decades ago.

2.The Apotheosis of Captain Cook: European Mythmaking in the PacificThe Apotheosis of Captain Cook: European Mythmaking in the Pacific
from Princeton University Press
Price: $17.87

Customer Review:

Most scholars claim Captain Cook was taken for a God when he arrived in Hawaii(much as Cortez in Mexico) but this book claims that this narrative is 'racist' and 'eurocentric' and a classic 'imperialistic myth'. The idea here is that the... more info

I first became aware of the controversy surrounding the death of Captain Cook in reading Blue Latitudes: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before a few years ago.

Price: $11.48

Customer Review:
Don't have much to add to the other four star reviews of this excellent book--it's very readable, and has a lot of interesting detailed information about James Cook. A couple quibbles: the map in the front shows all three voyages. But it's almost impossible to discern, it's so small and they are not... more info
