The text tracks the voyage of La Perouse through two distinct parts, moving from Brest to Monterey Bay and continuing through to Botany Bay. This book also includes the bizarre story of the Dupetit-Thouars B, adding a layer of adventure to this historical study. It is an essential resource for those interested in the history of social and cultural sciences, maritime exploration, and the development of botanical studies during the Enlightenment era. Published by Springer, this work offers a deep look into the lives and missions of those who ventured into the unknown for the sake of scientific progress.
