Description:
The most controversial, most maligned, and least understood of those who sailed with Captain Cook is how Michael Hoare describes Johann Forster. In this first full length biography, Hoare described Forster's accomplishments, contributions to the sciences of natural history, geology, ethnology, and cartography, and his life in England.
