  Captain James Cook FRS was a British explorer, navigator, cartographer, and captain in the Royal Navy who is most well-known for his 3 explorations to the Pacific Ocean, especially to Australia, between 1768 and 1779. Prior to finishing 3 trips to the Pacific, he drew precise maps of Newfoundland and made the first documented European encounter with the eastern coast of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands, and the first noted circumnavigation of New Zealand. 
  As a youngster, Cook signed up with the British merchant fleet before signing up with the Royal Navy in the year 1755. Throughout the siege of Quebec, he saw fight in the 7 Years' War and later on surveyed and recorded much of the Saint Lawrence River's entryway, bringing him to the notification of the Admiralty and the Royal Society. That honor took place at a rather critical point in his profession and in the direction of British abroad expedition, resulting in his appointment as leader of HMS Endeavor for the first of 3 Pacific explorations in the year 1766.  
  Cook traveled countless kilometers over mainly untouched parts of the world on these journeys. He checked out spots in the Pacific Ocean from New Zealand to Hawaii in greater detail and on a scale never ever before seen by Western explorers. For the first time, he surveyed and recognized things, and recording isles and shorelines on European maps. He displayed seamanship, remarkable surveying and cartography abilities, physical bravery, and the capability to lead men to different area all over the world.

  In QAnon and On, Guardian columnist Van Badham delves headfirst into the QAnon conspiracy theory, unpicking the why, how and who behind this century’s most dangerous and far-fetched internet cult. 
  From Gamergate to Pizzagate and beyond to QAnon, internet manipulation and disinformation campaigns have grown to a geopolitical scale and spilled into real life with devastating consequences, entangling everyone from politicians to Hollywood celebrities. 
  But what would motivate followers to so forcefully avoid the facts and surrender instead to made-up stories designed to influence and control? It’s a question that has haunted Van, herself a veteran of social media’s relentless trolling wars. In this daring investigation, Van exposes some of the internet’s most extreme communities to understand conspiracy cults from the inside. 
  QAnon and On is the story of the modern internet, the farscape of political belief and a disinformation pipeline built between the two that poses an ongoing threat to democracy itself. Shocking and mesmerising in equal measure, this book will open our eyes to the dangers of partisan belief. 
  'Van Badham is one of the most lucid, insightful and witty journalists in Australia, and seeing her expose the dark rising madness of conspiracy theories is both a joy and a panic attack all at once.'  Johann Hari, New York Times best-selling author 
  ‘Van Badham’s research is rigorous, her argument revealing and her writing absolutely impeccable. A chilling reveal on the world’s newest cult.’ Jamila Rizvi, best-selling author and presenter 
  'This book will compel you – and indeed all of us – to act to reclaim the internet for the good of humanity.'  Ginger Gorman, multi-award winning journalist and author 
  'As gripping and terrifying as a thriller, but the really chilling twist in the tale is that none of it is fiction.'  Jane Caro, Walkley-award winning author  
  'From Cosplay to QAnon, a terrifying, fascinating look at how an unregulated space of geeks and gamers became fertile ground for deliberate misinformation and political manipulation.' – Dee Madigan, campaigner, author and speaker  
  'A moving cry for reason in the chaos of a twilight world… a book that deserves - or perhaps, more pointedly, demands - to be widely read.' Ian McFarlane, The Canberra Times
