Nothing to do with music, I often read books of History, especially of course my own country's. But this time was from an Australian guy that wrote about Portugueses from the XVI century and according his theory how Australia and surrounding islands were maybe discovered way before Cptain Cook.
Beyond Capricorn by Peter Trickett
As described here: http://www.bookworm.com.au/Book/Beyond- ... 14599.aspx
In Beyond Capricorn, Peter Trickett challenges the commonly held view that the European discovery of Australia and New Zealand was made first by the Dutch, followed later by Britain’s Captain James Cook. Trickett argues the remarkable claim that in the year 1522 – a century before the Dutch and 250 years before Captain Cook - the Portuguese sailed past Fraser Island and into Botany Bay, around Wilson’s Promontory, and as far as Kangaroo Island before returning to their base in Malacca via the North Island of New Zealand.
Drawing from primary and secondary historical sources, archaeological evidence and stories handed down through Aboriginal oral tradition, Peter Trickett tells a story of espionage, revenge and secret voyages made by the Portuguese to corner the fabulously rich spice trade in the east and find the islands of gold alluded to by Marco Polo. Secret voyages that resulted in the discovery of Australia and New Zealand almost 500 years ago.
Beyond Capricorn is a compelling account of how for a brief moment in the 1520s Australia and New Zealand came close to becoming Portuguese outposts in the southern seas.

The Doors by William Ruhlmann. A nice book, with a brief history of the band and a lot of photos. Pretty neat.
