Category : History

Book Description
Did sixteenth century Portuguese navigators reach as far as Australia and New Zealand? Did they draw charts of the coastlines? After more than 200 years of speculation and debate an answer to these questions is at last within our reach -- thanks largely to science and logic. This book is the first to get past the speculation, and to transport the reader to a place where a resolution is not only possible, but likely. A fascinating read

Pre-Tasman Portuguese Down Under ?
Author: John TaskerPublisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 147170727X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 509
Book Description
For more than 200 years, scholars and amateurs alike have wrestled with the problem -- did sixteenth century Portuguese navigators sail down the east coast of Australia and along the shores of New Zealand, charting the coastlines as they went? Employing endless speculation, all kinds of people have proposed all kinds of theories, not one of which resulted in a resolution over those two centuries. This book is different. Forsaking the speculation and guesswork model, it finally lays the matter to rest beyond all reasonable doubt
Two Worlds
Author: Anne SalmondPublisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 9780824817657
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 488
Book Description
Two Worlds is a penetrating rethinking of that view. Drawing on local tribal knowledge as well as European accounts, Anne Salmond shows those first meetings in a new light. Both Maori and European protagonists were active, all fully human, following their own practical, political and mythological agendas, 'quite unlike those of their modern-day descendants in many ways'. The result is a work of trail-blazing significance in which many popular misconceptions and bigotries to do with common perceptions of traditional Maori society are revealed. It also opens up new possibilities in the international study of European exploration and 'discovery'.
