    Description

    This four-volume collection was issued by the Paris publisher Furne in the mid-nineteenth century to showcase the adventures and discoveries of recent French explorers. In Volumes 1 and 2 the naval officer Jules Dumont d'Urville (1790–1842) presents a lightly fictionalised account based on his first two voyages to the Pacific on board the Coquille (renamed L'Astrolabe for the second voyage). This was intended for a wider audience and offered at a more affordable price than the large-format scientific expedition reports produced for the French government. The work, illustrated with engravings, was originally published in 1832, but the printings by Furne reissued here date from 1863 and 1859 respectively. Volume 1 describes the voyage through the Atlantic to the Cape of Good Hope, and focuses on South and South-East Asia, China and Hawaii, covering natural history, indigenous culture, and colonial commerce. It ends with the ship's arrival in French Polynesia.

    Journal of Global History
    Journal of Global History

    : Journal

    Journal of Global History addresses the main problems of global change over time, together with the diverse histories of globalization. It also examines counter-currents to globalization, including those that have structured other spatial units. The journal seeks to transcend the dichotomy between 'the West and the rest', straddle traditional regional boundaries, relate material to cultural and political history, and overcome thematic fragmentation in historiography. The journal also acts as a forum for interdisciplinary conversations across a wide variety of social and natural sciences. '... The JGH is a publication of the first water.' Prof. Jerry Bentley, University of Hawai'i '... the Journal has been a hugely welcome addition and a valuable focus for what is still a protean field.' Dr John Darwin, University of Oxford '... what a great journal this is, and how very quickly and deservedly it has established itself.' Prof. Linda Colley, Princeton University '... many articles do indeed represent cutting-edge research, particularly on empires and commodities, but also on nationalism and religion.' Prof. Heather Streets, Washington State University '...this is a splendid publication: extensive in coverage, refreshing in approach, and reflective of some of the significant achievements and trends in the study of history.' Prof. Akira Iriye, Harvard University
