Sort of a mixed travel and history book, the semi-adventurous author mixes trips to places where Captain Cook went (including Yorkshire and London, but skipping the Antarctic) with stories about Cook's 3 voyages. The main focus of the author's inquiries is what various people think of Cook today, from Cook societies around to world to Cookophobes. The author could have made his point with less writing, but it was an enjoyable read.
