{"product_id":"james-cook-william-frame-9780773552869","title":"James Cook: The Voyages","description":"The twenty-fifth of August 2018 marks the 250th anniversary of the departure of the Endeavour from Plymouth, England, and the first of three voyages by James Cook that would nearly complete the map of the world. Interweaving accounts of scientific discovery with the personal stories of the voyages' key participants, William Frame and Laura Walker explore the charting of the Pacific and the natural world, the first encounters and exchange between Western and indigenous cultures, and the representation of the voyages in art. The illustrations, many of which have never before been published, include drawings by all the artists employed on the voyages, including Alexander Buchan, Sydney Parkinson, William Hodges, and John Webber. It also includes the only surviving paintings by Tupaia, a Polynesian high priest and navigator who joined the first voyage at Tahiti and sailed with Cook to New Zealand and Australia. A stunningly illustrated object-centred history, James Cook: The Voyages offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to discover the extensive Captain Cook collection of the British Library, including original maps, artworks, journals, and printed books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Frame, Laura Walker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0773552863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780773552869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.10h x 9.00w x 1.20d","brand":"William Frame","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43996815393023,"sku":"9780773552869","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9245ef2d-6b9c-489e-ba31-93c9c48594e0.jpg?v=1683343854","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/james-cook-william-frame-9780773552869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
