About the Author:
Lynne Withey has taught history at the University of Iowa, Boston University, and the University of California at Berkeley. She is the author of Dearest Friend: A Life of Abigail Adams.
From Library Journal:
A history of 18th-century British exploration of the Pacific, concentrating on Cook's three voyages (1768-80). Withey covers some of the same ground as John C. Beaglehole's The Exploration of the Pacific (1966. 3d ed.), but emphasizes the interaction between the English explorers and the Pacific islanders, mutually fascinated, but trying to comprehend an exotic society in terms of their own. The differences between the various island groups visited by the English are well delineated by Withey, biographer of Abigail Adams ( Dearest Friend) . The author makes good use of contemporary journals and reports to put together a readable narrative. Jonathan F. Husband, Framingham State Coll. Lib., Mass .
