Overview:

Who first ate a sandwich in space? Where was the first roller coaster? What was the first crime to be solved by fingerprint identification? Our planet is home to thousands of trailblazing inventors, courageous pioneers, and daredevil record breakers. This unique atlas pinpoints where more than 500 firsts from every field of endeavor - science and technology, exploration, sports, arts and entertainment - hit the headlines around the world. From the truly groundbreaking to the outrageously bizarre, it reveals which car was the first to break the sonic barrier, who was the first human cannonball, when the first call was made on a cell phone, and much more.
