When did the last London tram go out of service?; what was the last battle fought on American soil?; when did the last public hanging take place in Britain?; when were live pigeons last used in the Olympic sport of pigeon-shooting? The answers to these and a host of other questions - trivial and otherwise - can be found in "The Guinness Book of Lasts", a general interest history and reference book that examines the last occasions when particular events took place. Each entry, or "last", is contained within eight main chapters: commerce, entertainment, government, international affairs, military, public life, science and transport. "The Guinness Book of Lasts" not only provides answers to some frequently asked questions, but also gives a more detailed background story to some of the topics described: from the last English king to die in battle, to the last ship used by the US navy.
