Broschiert. Zustand: Gebraucht. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Ungelesen, vollständig, sehr guter Zustand, leichte Lagerspuren, als Mängelexemplar gekennzeichnet -Der britische Seefahrer und Entdecker James Cook (1728-1779) ist vor allem durch drei große Fahrten durch den Pazifik bekannt geworden. Auf diesen Expeditionen entdeckte er zahlreiche Inseln, die er vermaß und kartografisch verzeichnete. Ihm ist die genaue geografische Beschreibung und Vermessung des Pazifik zu verdanken. Das vorliegende Buch beinhaltet Cooks Aufzeichnung seiner ersten Seereise auf seinem Segelschiff Endeavour, das der britischen Marine angehörte. Ziel dieser Reise war es, eine Reihe von Wissenschaftlern nach Tahiti zu bringen, die vor Ort astronomische Vermessungen durchführen sollten. Überdies waren Cook und seine Crew die ersten Europäer, die auf dieser Fahrt die Ostküste Australiens passierten. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine englischsprachige Ausgabe. 544 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Die Entdeckung der SüdseeKein Seefahrer vor James Cook unternahm so ausgedehnte Reisen, verbrachte so lange Zeiträume ununterbrochen auf See und kehrte mit so umfangreichen Kenntnissen weiter Teile der Erde zurück. Cook war der Navigator, der die weißen Flecken auf der Karte des Pazifischen Ozeans tilgte. Wir lesen heute, über zweihundert Jahre später, seine umfangreichen, sachlich knapp und unprätentiös gehaltenen Logbücher mit Atem raubender Faszination. In der Abfolge einer Fülle bildkräftig geschilderter Eindrücke und Erlebnisse erkennen wir auch die wachsende Erfahrung des Kapitäns in der Führung seiner Schiffe Endeavour, Resolution, Discovery und Adventure und ihrer Mannschaften.In ihrer epochalen Bedeutung, aber auch in ihrer abenteuerlichen Erlebnisfülle können die Reisen James Cooks durchaus in einem Atemzug mit den Fahrten des Columbus genannt werden.

He had sailed into the Antarctic extensively and had charted the coastlines from Newfoundland to New Zealand. Cook's third voyage was organized to seek a more efficient route from England to both southern and eastern Asia without entailing rounding the Cape of Good Hope.Since the beginning of the European expansion in the later fifteenth century, the search for a Passage more Northwest or even Northeast had been on the agenda of lots of northern European mariners and merchants. Incentive for the latest exploration for this specific route was England's growing interests in India, economical as well as colonial, in the late eighteenth century. Cook, who again was in command of this Resolution, was to approach the Northwest Passage from the Pacific. The Discovery, a second ship captained by Charles Clerke, was to accompany him. After leaving England separately, they regrouped at Cape Town and went from there to Tasmania, New Zealand and also Tahiti. They then continued to sail north and made landfall at the Christmas Island and Hawaiian Islands. Cook went further northward and charted the American west coast from northern California as far as the Bering Strait. When he returned to Hawaii for the winter, he was killed in an encounter with natives on February 14, 1779. Clerke took over the command of the expedition after Cook's death, but died several months later in August. Both ships returned to England in 1780, commanded by John Gore who had taken over the Discovery after Cook's death. The voyage had lasted a total of more than four years from start to finish. James Cook James Cook was born on 7 November 1728 in the Yorkshire village Marton. His father was a poor Scottish farm labourer, who had worked his way up to supervisor. James also began as a farm labourer and grocer's assistant. Soon he found employment in a Collier on the Baltic Sea. During the Seven Year's War in 1755, he volunteered for service and enlisted as an able seaman on the Eagle. He was promoted to master's mate under Captain Joseph Hamar within a month due to his outstanding ability. About four years later he had passed his master's examinations. James Cook, commanding his own ship, performed a very crucial charting and mapping of the Saint Lawrence River making the great amphibious assult upon Quebec City in 1759 possible. He was given command of the schooner Grenville in 1763 to survey the eastern coasts of Canada over a four year periode. These excellent charts were used up until the early 20th century. In 1768 James Cook was selected to lead an expedition to observe the transit of Venus as well as to explore new lands in the Pacific Ocean. In his first Pacific voyage, he rounded Cape Horn in the Endeavour reaching Tahiti on 3 June 1769. The transit of Venus was successfully observed after recovering a necessary scientific instrument stolen by the natives. The Endeavour then spent six months charting New Zealand. Next Cook explored and claimed possession of eastern Australia. The crew suffered an appalling 43% fatality rate after returning to England, on 12 June 1771, via New Guinea, Java and the Cape of Good Hope. James Cook thus became very concerned about crew health on subsequent voyages. He instituted compulsory dietary reforms that were copied by several other ship captains. The reason of Captain Cook's second Pacific Ocean voyage was to confirm the existence of a theorized Great Southern Continent. His ship the Resolution, which was accompanied by the Adventure, departed Plymouth on 13 July 1772 and again sailed around the Cape of Good Hope. Beset by ice, he unfortunately wasn't able to reach Antarctica. Although its existence was suspected, James Cook demonstrated, by traversing large areas of the south Pacific, that it would have to be a frigid wasteland, and not an economically productive addition to the British empire. With the incredible accuracy of only 3 miles James Cook charted many of the South Pacific Islands. This incredible accuracy was made possible by a new and highly accurate clock. Both ships returned to England on 29 July 1775, via Cape Horn. The experimental diets and close attention to cleanliness had a miraculous effect: out of a crew of 118, only one man was lost to disease. The many paintings by the artists were widely displayed and published as engravings, due to high public interest. Furthermore James Cook was awarded the Copley Gold Medal and elected as a fellow of the Royal Society. The third and last great voyage is significantly important to the history of the west coast of North America. Primarily Captain Cook and his men were searching for the Northwest Passage from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. The ships both sailed around the Cape of Good Hope to reach the west coast of America in February of 1778. They continued north along the coast in haste to the Bering Sea and Bering Strait in an attempt to pass through the Arctic Ocean during the summer season. Foiled by ice, James Cook returned to Hawaii to prepare for another attempt at the Northwest Passage in the next season. A storm damaged the foremast of the Resolution soon after they had departed and forced them to return to Kealakekua Bay for repairs. Unfortunately, they had previously overstayed their welcome and relations became tense. The theft of a ship's cutter led Captain Cook to put ash.

Copper engraving , folded, printed on watermarked paper . Impression size 12 ins x 14 ins. The work of John Frederick Miller (fl.1759-1794), the artist was employed by Joseph Banks to make drawings of some of the specimens collected on Cook's first voyage to the Pacific in the Endeavour. This image appeared as plate 11 in the official account of Cook's first voyage, An Account of the Voyages., London, 1773. In Chapter VIII on Otaheite (Tahiti) there is a long description of the discovery of the tree and the uses of its fruit: "it must be roasted before it is eaten, being fully divided into three or four parts.". William Bligh, who sailed with Cook on this first expedition, returned to Tahiti in 1787 as commander of the Bounty specifically to gather the breadfruit tree for cultivation in the West Indies. The condition is very good with the paper though folded being clean and crisp with a full margin. There is some light offsetting from the dark ink used in this obvious early pull of the plate.

Quarto, with many folding plates and tables; in very good condition in contemporary calf, well rebacked. This collective publication of Transactions of the Royal Society for 1776, running to altogether 53 articles on a rich variety of subjects, includes two original works by James Cook, who appeared in print surprisingly little during his illustrious career. The first piece (pp. 402-6) is Cook's famous account of the measures taken on the Resolution during the second voyage to combat scurvy, in which he discusses the merits of malt, "Sour Krout", "portable soup" and citrus fruit. Cook's piece is addressed to the Royal Society's president, Sir John Pringle, who read it on Cook's behalf to the Society, in the absence of Cook himself, then just beginning his final voyage. It was awarded the Society's famous Copley medal for 1776. Cook was also responsible for another article in the same year, his piece (pp. 447-9) on the tides 'in Endeavour River, on the East Coast of New Holland'. Yet a third piece in the volume relates to Cook's second voyage, William Anderson, surgeon on the Resolution, contributing "An Account of some Poisonous Fish in the South Seas". .

He was the first really scientific navigator and his voyages made great contributions to many fields of knowledge (Hill 358).Cook was a brilliant navigator and hydrographer, an excellent administrator and planner, and probably the first sea captain to realize the importance of preserving the health and well-being of his crew (PMM 223).First voyage with the Endeavour. - HAWKESWORTH, John.

He had sailed into the Antarctic extensively and had charted the coastlines from Newfoundland to New Zealand. Cook's third voyage was organized to seek a more efficient route from England to both southern and eastern Asia without entailing rounding the Cape of Good Hope.Since the beginning of the European expansion in the later fifteenth century, the search for a Passage more Northwest or even Northeast had been on the agenda of lots of northern European mariners and merchants. Incentive for the latest exploration for this specific route was England's growing interests in India, economical as well as colonial, in the late eighteenth century. Cook, who again was in command of this Resolution, was to approach the Northwest Passage from the Pacific. The Discovery, a second ship captained by Charles Clerke, was to accompany him. After leaving England separately, they regrouped at Cape Town and went from there to Tasmania, New Zealand and also Tahiti. They then continued to sail north and made landfall at the Christmas Island and Hawaiian Islands. Cook went further northward and charted the American west coast from northern California as far as the Bering Strait. When he returned to Hawaii for the winter, he was killed in an encounter with natives on February 14, 1779. Clerke took over the command of the expedition after Cook's death, but died several months later in August. Both ships returned to England in 1780, commanded by John Gore who had taken over the Discovery after Cook's death. The voyage had lasted a total of more than four years from start to finish. James Cook James Cook was born on 7 November 1728 in the Yorkshire village Marton. His father was a poor Scottish farm labourer, who had worked his way up to supervisor. James also began as a farm labourer and grocer's assistant. Soon he found employment in a Collier on the Baltic Sea. During the Seven Year's War in 1755, he volunteered for service and enlisted as an able seaman on the Eagle. He was promoted to master's mate under Captain Joseph Hamar within a month due to his outstanding ability. About four years later he had passed his master's examinations. James Cook, commanding his own ship, performed a very crucial charting and mapping of the Saint Lawrence River making the great amphibious assult upon Quebec City in 1759 possible. He was given command of the schooner Grenville in 1763 to survey the eastern coasts of Canada over a four year periode. These excellent charts were used up until the early 20th century. In 1768 James Cook was selected to lead an expedition to observe the transit of Venus as well as to explore new lands in the Pacific Ocean. In his first Pacific voyage, he rounded Cape Horn in the Endeavour reaching Tahiti on 3 June 1769. The transit of Venus was successfully observed after recovering a necessary scientific instrument stolen by the natives. The Endeavour then spent six months charting New Zealand. Next Cook explored and claimed possession of eastern Australia. The crew suffered an appalling 43% fatality rate after returning to England, on 12 June 1771, via New Guinea, Java and the Cape of Good Hope. James Cook thus became very concerned about crew health on subsequent voyages. He instituted compulsory dietary reforms that were copied by several other ship captains. The reason of Captain Cook's second Pacific Ocean voyage was to confirm the existence of a theorized Great Southern Continent. His ship the Resolution, which was accompanied by the Adventure, departed Plymouth on 13 July 1772 and again sailed around the Cape of Good Hope. Beset by ice, he unfortunately wasn't able to reach Antarctica. Although its existence was suspected, James Cook demonstrated, by traversing large areas of the south Pacific, that it would have to be a frigid wasteland, and not an economically productive addition to the British empire. With the incredible accuracy of only 3 miles James Cook charted many of the South Pacific Islands. This incredible accuracy was made possible by a new and highly accurate clock. Both ships returned to England on 29 July 1775, via Cape Horn. The experimental diets and close attention to cleanliness had a miraculous effect: out of a crew of 118, only one man was lost to disease. The many paintings by the artists were widely displayed and published as engravings, due to high public interest. Furthermore James Cook was awarded the Copley Gold Medal and elected as a fellow of the Royal Society. The third and last great voyage is significantly important to the history of the west coast of North America. Primarily Captain Cook and his men were searching for the Northwest Passage from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. The ships both sailed around the Cape of Good Hope to reach the west coast of America in February of 1778. They continued north along the coast in haste to the Bering Sea and Bering Strait in an attempt to pass through the Arctic Ocean during the summer season. Foiled by ice, James Cook returned to Hawaii to prepare for another attempt at the Northwest Passage in the next season. A storm damaged the foremast of the Resolution soon after they had departed and forced them to return to Kealakekua Bay for repairs. Unfortunately, they had previously overstayed their welcome and relations became tense. The theft of a ship's cutter led Captain Cook to.

First Dutch edition; with bookplate of B.J. van Dongen. - First collected accounts of the three great voyages by James Cook (1728-1779), the first really scientific navigator, providing 18th century Europeans with their first virtually complete insight into the previously more or less unexplored region of the Pacifc.Volume I-III contain the life of Cook and his first voyage 1768-1771. The expedition sailed aboard HMS Endeavour to Tahiti, then sailed to New Zealand.where he mapped the complete coastline. He was the first European in New Zealand since Abel Tasman in 1643. Cook then voyaged west, reaching the southeastern coast of Australia near today's Point Hicks on 19 April 1770, and in doing so his expedition became the first recorded Europeans to have encountered its eastern coastline. Cook returned to England via Batavia. Volume IV-VII contain his second voyage 1772-1775. Cook commanded HMS Resolution on this voyage, while Tobias Furneaux commanded its companion ship, HMS Adventure. Cook's expedition circumnavigated the globe at an extreme southern latitude, becoming one of the first to cross the Antarctic Circle. On his return voyage to New Zealand in 1774, Cook landed at the Friendly Islands, Easter Island, Norfolk Island, New Caledonia, and Vanuatu. Volume VIII-XIII contain his third voyage 1776-1780. On his last voyage, Cook again commanded HMS Resolution, while Captain Charles Clerke commanded HMS Discovery. On this expedition he became the first European to begin formal contact with the Hawaiian Islands. From the Sandwich Islands, Cook sailed north and then northeast to explore the west coast of North America north of the Spanish settlements in Alta California. He charted the majority of the North American northwest coastline on world maps for the first time. Cook returned to Hawaii where he was killed in a fight between his men and the natives of Hawaii in 1779. 'Cook earned his place in history by opening up the Pacific to western civilization and by foundation of British Australia. The world was given for the first time an essentially complete knowledge of the Pacific Ocean and Australia, and Cook proved once and for all that there was no great southern continent, as had always been believed. He also suggested the existence of antarctic land in the southern ice ring, a fact which was not proved until the explorations up the 19th century. Cook was a brilliant navigator and hydrographer, an excellent administrator and planner, and probably the first sea captain to realize the importance of preserving the health and well-being of his crew' (P.M.M. p.135). - James Cook contributed much to European knowledge of the Pacific, several islands were encountered for the first time by Europeans and charting of large areas of the area was a major achievement. - (Some volumes sl. waterstained). - A fine set.Tiele 268; Cat.
