The Book of Lasts - Softcover
Everybody knows who was the first man on the moon; but who was the last? We know the dodo is extinct, but where was the last one seen - and how did it die? From the last of the Aztecs to the last days of the Berlin wall, "The Book Of Lasts" is a look at the triumphant conclusions and tragic endings of history - what ended with a bang and what sidled out with a whimper. People, animals, events and practices are all given their place as the final instances of something occurring, from those that changed the face of society to those that were hardly noticed, until it was all over.
