«The Trial of the Cannibal Dog» is Anne Salmond's essay on Cook's voyages across the Pacific, in Penguin paperback (544 pages, in English).
Anne Salmond, an expert on relations between Europeans and Polynesians, reconstructs James Cook's voyages across the Pacific, through dangerous seas, unknown lands and peoples, and shows that these journeys were far more than conquest: the encounters transformed both sides, and Cook was treated as a high chief before his death.
Anne Salmond won the Montana Medal for Nonfiction at the 2004 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards and is a professor of Māori Studies at the University of Auckland.
For readers interested in the history of Pacific exploration, James Cook's voyages, and the encounter between Europeans and Polynesians.
