"The 2023 edition takes readers on a journey that's out of this
world, revealing the latest and greatest record-breaking
achievements here on Planet Earth and across the vast distances
of space."--Amazon.com.
3... 2... 1... We have lift off on another fully revised and
updated Guinness World Records annual. The 2023 edition takes
readers on a journey that's out of this world, revealing the
latest and greatest record-breaking achievements here on Planet
Earth and across the vast distances of space.
As lockdown restrictions ease, humanity's horizons are expanding
once again, and our world is experiencing unprecedented change -
in the environment, culture, technology and society. Keeping up
with this dizzying revolution are the Guinness World Records
adjudicators, who've been busier than ever documenting the
Officially Amazing. The result is Guinness World Records 2023!
With ever more focus on diversity and inclusion, we showcase the
most inspirational, eye-catching, mind-blowing achievements from
the past year, across a multitude of topics such as gaming and
the human body, engineering and wildlife.
- We start with a tour of space, exploring astronomical
superlatives in a chapter dedicated to the latest developments in
the New Space Race... from tech innovators and pioneering space
tourists to the latest planetary landers and the new James Webb
Space Tele - the largest of its kind
- Back down to Earth, we continue our expedition, delving deep
into the natural world to encounter the animal kingdom's
mightiest - and most bizarre - beasts. We whip out the binoculars
for some breath-taking birdwatching and honour history's bravest
two- and four-legged heroes
- Get up close and personal with the most iconic human beings -
the tallest, shortest, strongest and hairiest on the planet. And
be amazed at the extraordinary skills on display from the
jugglers, rock-climbers, freestylers and mermaids (yes,
mermaids!) who populate the Extraordinary Exploits chapter
- To celebrate the 150th anniversary of Jules Verne's Around the
World in 80 Days, we dedicate a chapter to a whistlestop tour of
our planet, pointing out the recordworthy geographical landmarks,
tourist hot-spots and cultural phenomena
- The Modern World chapter charts our ever-changing society,
taking in everything from cryptocurrency and positive action to
fast food and TikTok stardom!
- Our team of gaming consultants and editors have picked out the
Top 25 Greatest Gaming Records of all time - does your favourite
game get a mention?
- We end the book with every significant new sporting achievement
logged in the 30-page Sports section
Features:
Hall of Fame - Which record-breaking icons haves gone above and
beyond to find themselves inducted into the Guinness World
Records Hall of Fame in the 2023 edition?
Young Achievers - We introduce you to six more incredible
teenagers - including sports stars and chess grandmasters - whose
success is proof that age is no barrier to being the best in the
world at something
Snap - In these unique photo-features, our 3D artists take a
visual approach to storytelling, using comparisons from famous
locations around the world to reveal just how epic some record
breakers truly are
Top 25 Gaming Records - From the most critically accled and
best-selling games to the longest marathons and richest esports
stars, we run through the 25 most significant videogame records
in our archive, encompassing classics such as Pac-Man and Donkey
