IDB Productions, 2016-01-01. MP3 CD. New. This item is a brand new factory sealed MP3 disc supplied in a DVD case

MP3 Audio CD. Very few people today are considered to match Captain James Cook's integrity, honesty and organization. This book, written by none other than Cook himself, in 1777, outlines his second long journey, undertaken on behalf of the British Crown, between the years 1772 and 1775. A Voyage Towards the South Pole may seem like just another document talking about the weather and storms encountered out at sea, including meteorological details, information about the ship's provision and about the crew, as well as mentions of special days and celebrations. While you may find much of that in Captain Cook's voyage, there is also much more you will encounter that may seem surprising. The book includes a detailed description of Cook's journeys. This includes information and insight on various native tribes and islands they have encountered, as well as their culture, government and traditions. Cook's journal is extremely scientific, and it shows that neither he, nor his crew, had ever attempted to alter… Read More

These the officers of the yard were ordered to take in hand immediately; and Lord Sandwich and Sir Hugh Palliser came down to… Read More
