James Cook The dates of the explorations?
On Cook's first journey, departing in 1768, he commanded the 'Endeavour' on an expedition to chart the transit of Venus. Cook went on to search for Terra Australis Incognita, the great continent which some believed to extend round the pole. He first came across New Zealand, which had already been discovered by Abel Tasman in 1642. He spent some months there, charting the coastline. Nearly a year later, he set sail east, becoming the first known European to sight the Eastern coast of Australia, in April 1770. He continued north, charting the coast in some detail, before returning a favourable report to England. It was this report which convinced the authorities to colonise the Australian continent with convicts.
On Cook's second journey which lasted from 1772-1775, he commanded the 'Resolution' and the 'Adventure' on an expedition to the South Pacific, disproving the rumour of a great southern continent, exploring the Antarctic Ocean, New Hebrides and New Caledonia.
On his third journey, commencing in 1776, Cook visited and named the Sandwich Islands, now known as Hawaii, and unsuccessfully sought a northwest passage along the coast of North America. On his way back to England, he stopped at Hawaii again. After a boat was stolen by natives, he and his crew had an altercation with the Hawaiians. On 14 February 1779, Cook was speared by Hawaiian natives. This was a tragic end to the career of a noble and courageous explorer.
Sure! Low and slow and you'll leave the meat so tender it falls off the bone.

Whether a college or university from outside of a country is generally recognized, may depend on the educational structure within that country and what they feel is equivalent. It also may depend on the receiving institution and what they determine as equivalent and recognized course work. In addition it will also depend on the industry you are pursuing. In other words, here in the United States some industries will not recognize out of country degrees. Some of these include but are not limited to Law, some Technologies, Education, etc. On the other hand, some systems will not only take under consider a particular school, but also the individuals experience. To find out which schools in India recognize a particular out-of-country institution is easier than trying to find out what industry employers recognize. Still, you can do some research by going to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colleges_and_universities_by_country. Then click under South Asia, and then India. You can find information here that can lead you to other resources.
