The Discovery Of Australia And New Zealand: Modern History Of New Zealand: Modern Discovery Of Australia

If asked the question "Who discovered New Zealand?" many of us would answer, without really thinking, "Captain James Cook" and after centuries of a European-dominated view of history, it's no wonder it has taken so long to shake this perspective. This book analyzes the expeditions that brought the Aborigines and Maori to Australia and New Zealand, and how the Europeans discovered the area in the 17th century. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the discovery of Australia and New Zealand like never before.
