Synopsis
One of our greatest writers about the sea has written an engrossing story of one of history's most legendary maritime explorers. Patrick O'Brian's biography of naturalist, explorer and co-founder of Australia, Joseph Banks, is narrative history at its finest. Published to rave reviews, it reveals Banks to be a man of enduring importance, and establishes itself as a classic of exploration. "It is in his description of that arduous three-year voyage on the ship Endeavor] that Mr. O'Brian is at his most brilliant. . . . He makes us understand what life within this wooden world was like, with its 94 male souls, two dogs, a cat and a goat."--Linda Colley, New York Times "An absorbing, finely written overview, meant for the general reader, of a major figure in the history of natural science."--Frank Stewart, Los Angeles Times " This book is] the definitive biography of an extraordinary subject."--Robert Taylor, Boston Globe "His skill at narrative and his extensive knowledge of the maritime history . . . give him a definite leg up in telling this . . . story."--Tom Clark, San Francisco Chronicle, One of our greatest writers about the sea has written an engrossing story of one of history's most legendary maritime explorers.

    The condition of the book was as described. It was shipped quickly. However, the packaging was torn in one corner and was without bubble padding, it was like paper bag material. Luckily no damage occurred to the book's corner that was exposed. This is my second time buying from this seller. I hope they will read my feedback and be more thoughtful with the packaging choices in future sales.
