The Early Pacific and European Narratives of Abel Tasmans 1642 VoyageIn this important book, Rdiger Mack seeks to rebalance our perspective by focusing upon the expedition led by Abel Tasman, in 16421643, which discovered Tasmania, New Zealand, Fiji and New Britain, and visited Tonga, the Solomon Islands and New Guinea.It also includes the first-ever complete English translation of an important resource for the voyage from Nicolaes Witsens 1705 bookNoord en Oost Tartarye as well as preserves excerpts and illustrations from the journal of Tasmans chief navigator, Francois Jacobsz.Rdiger Mack has devoted more than 25 years to this work and has meticulously uncovered new and fascinating details around this extraordinary exploration, from the reasons for its secrecy, the competitive environment of 17th century exploration, and new insights on first contacts with the indigenous populations of the wider Pacific.
