A vivid tale of modern adventures, history and fun in the wake of Captain Cook by the author of Confederates in the Attic. Horwitz paints a broad picture of Cook and his time, capturing the places and personalities Cook encountered in his daring voyages around the world. Since he doesn't like the cold, the author (who sailed on a replica of the Endeavor as a crewman) skipped the Antarctic.  (EXP31, $16.00)
