Abstract

The article discusses Paul Moon's book "A Draught of the South Land: Mapping New Zealand from Tasman to Cook," which explores the mapping of New Zealand from Abel Tasman to Captain James Cook. It highlights the Dutch maritime ascendency and the role of individuals in mapmaking, as well as Cook's famous voyages and mapmaking techniques. The book provides lesser-known details about Cook's mapping of New Zealand and emphasizes the significance of his maps. Moon's work is praised for its thorough research and accessible style, appealing to general readers and scholars alike. [Extracted from the article]
