It Happened Here First!

Product Description

Our planet is home to thousands of trailblazing inventors, intrepid pioneers and daredevil record-breakers. This unique atlas pinpoints where more than 500 firsts from every field of endeavour - science and technology, exploration, sport, arts and entertainment - hit the headlines around the world. From the truly ground-breaking to the mind-bogglingly bizarre, it reveals which car was first to break the sound barrier, where Pele scored his first goal, who first 'walked' across the Atlantic Ocean, and much more.
