" ... The aim of this study is to describe the various astronomers involved in Cook's three voyages to the South Seas, their scientific instruments, and their New Zealand based astronomical observations, before placing eighteenth century New Zealand astronomy in historical perspective ... In Chapter 5 we show the other face of New Zealand astronomy during the 1770's by briefly examining Māori astronomy"
