Summary:
"A concise guide to the captivating history of the Pacific Ocean. Over the centuries, the Pacific has become one of the most important oceans for transport and trade in the world and has borne witness to major historic events. Looking back at those who have journeyed across it over time, renowned historian Jeremy Black unearths the stories, both of triumph and of tragedy, that led to the Pacific becoming an ocean of discoveries. Beginning with the countries and continents that were yet undiscoverd by Europeans, Black analyses the pivotal relationship the Pacific has within world history and culture. From the discoveries by British navigator James Cook and the power sruggless of empires, to the influence of the Americas and agreements made between competing nations, Black explores the many paths that led to the Pacific's place in history. As much a traveller's companion as it is a must-read for history lovers, 'A Brief History of the Pacific' is an intelligent page-turner that invites you to travel across these shores as you discover the tales of its past and future." --Back cover.
