Craig Glenday - Guinness World Records 2024
Product description
Discover thousands of new and classic records in topics as diverse as roller coasters, robots, movie props and games. The theme of this year's edition is BLUE PLANET, so in our opening chapters you will meet bizarre and deadly sea creatures, then we will swim to the largest coral reefs and comb the seabed in search of shipwrecks.
What's new in this year's edition:
HISTORY - This new chapter chronicles the past 2,000 years, including Egyptians, pirates, catapult knights, vampires, and ghosts.
3D EXPLANATORY - In this section, we reveal the inner workings of each record by going layer by layer on our 3-dimensional diagrams. In this way, we can take a look inside the head of an octopus, the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park come to life in front of us, we can visit the interior of the Pyramids of Giza and we can meet many other interesting things.
SPORT - This 30-page chapter records all the new sports results of the past year.
BUCKET LIST - The theme of our book this year is inspired by the idea of "things you must do before you die", so in this volume we present the 100 most popular life goals, with the associated Guinness record, so that you can compile your own list. What's on your bucket list? Would you like to travel in the world's longest car? Would you look around from the top of the Eiffel Tower? Would you like to spot blue whales?
BONUS CONTENT - Through the QR codes placed in the book, you can watch several hours of video material about the most exciting records.
