Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Synopsis
A new interest in European maritime exploration was aroused with the publication of the first volume of J.C. Beaglehole's edition of The Journals of Captain James Cook in 1955. In the forty-odd years since then, our knowledge of this exploration -- and of the imperialism of which it was a part -- has expanded enormously. We now recognise that the scientific endeavours, once seen as disinterested manifestations of the Enlightenment, actually had both strategic and commercial implications. And today much greater emphasis is given to the meanings of early encounters for both the Natives of the Pacific islands and the Strangers from the European world., A new interest in European maritime exploration was aroused with the publication of the first volume of J.C.

In the forty-odd years since then ..., A new interest in European maritime exploration was aroused with thepublication of the first volume of J.C. Beaglehole's edition of TheJournals of Captain James Cook in 1955. In the forty-odd years sincethen, our knowledge of this exploration -- and of the imperialism ofwhich it was a part -- has expanded enormously. We now recognise that the scientific endeavours, once seen asdisinterested manifestations of the Enlightenment, actually had bothstrategic and commercial implications. And today much greater emphasisis given to the meanings of early encounters for both the Natives ofthe Pacific islands and the Strangers from the European world. Glyndwr Williams has played a leading role in the development ofthese new insights. Always at the forefront of new historiographicaldevelopments, his interests range from North America to the Pacific toAsia, encompassing historical, geographical, cartographical,ethnographic, artistic, and literary perspectives. In addition to his own mature overview of British maritimeexploration, Pacific Empires offers stimulating contributionsby a number of Williams' colleagues, all authorities in theirrespective fields. They cover such themes as science and expansion, andculture contact in North American and the Pacific, and they reflect onthe nature of history and historiography. Glyndwr Williams hasprofoundly influenced the development of new understandings of Europeanexploration and imperialism. Pacific Empires is a fittingtribute to his achievements and to the esteem in which his colleagueshold him. It is also a timely examination of historical understandingsat the end of the twentieth century., A new interest in European maritime exploration was aroused with the publication of the first volume of J.C.

    Took a while to arrive, but, great book at a great price, as described, good seller. Thanks! A previous book from this seller took only four days to be delivered, while this time it took nearly two weeks. Not sure what's up with that.

    Carefully packaged book- arrived wrapped in plastic bag and shipped in cardboard box. As a frequent book buyer I appreciate this as so many books are just crammed into a plastic shopping bag and sent on their way- sometimes always hanging out of the bag. I know that Midtown Book Seller books will arrive as described. Shipped promptly. I’d highly recommend them as a seller.

    Excellent experience with this eBay used book seller! The books arrived in perfect condition, as described, and their pristine condition exceeded my expectations. What impressed me most was the speed of shipping: the book arrived much earlier than expected. Furthermore, the packaging was careful and professional, ensuring the book arrived undamaged. Thanks a lot! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
