Media reviews
Longitude and Empire is cogently and quite brilliantly organized. In summarizing how Cook organized his narratives, Brian Richardson shows how our world view has been shaped by Cook's - a fascinating and well-illustrated argument. Cook and his narratives are the template for most if not all who followed, and as such, this critical assessment of Cook and the literature has importance beyond the man and his own explorations - this is an essential book for anyone interested in the general subject of Enlightenment exploration - and perhaps for all exploration that follows. - James Delgado, Director, Vancouver Maritime Museum"
