Maggiori informazioni sul libro
"This book presents the story of the discovery and subsequent mapping by Europeans of the Australian continent and New Zealand. It is a story, told mainly through the maps they drew, of adventurous sailors who travelled in small ships across vast oceans. Plagued by ignorance and fear but driven by greed, curiosity and the crusading spirit, they explored and gradually filled in the emptiness. These were the people who discovered, mapped and finally settled in Australia, making it an outpost of European culture." -- prelude, page 6
