British explorer & catographer Captain James Cook (1728 - 1779) is noted for his 3 historic voyages to the Pacific Ocean which marked first European contact, and has been well documented. This work considers more life below decks in contrast with a discovery of aPacfic paradisel. Anthropological approach to the times, when introduction of European livestock was a prime objectives of the third voyage. Book relates an event, on the 3rd and last voyage, the fate of a captured, wild roaming New Zealand dog. Having bitten humans, the dog was deemed cannibalistic, and therefore "rightfully" doomed to death. Summarily dressed, cooked and eatened in turn in. Albeit it a time when fresh provisions were short, a record of modern savagery. 506 pgs in 17 chapters, documenting other events of all three voyages as West meets East.
