Book Description
A celebration of the nuttiness and obsessives in all of us, RecordSetter is the new world record– setting phenomenon, a website that believes everyone can be the world’s best at something—and where 80,000 people a month come to prove it, or just enjoy watching. Corey Henderson and Dan Rollman, the creators of RecordSetter, are two entrepreneurs obsessed by world records who appear regularly on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and host events in cities around the country. The RecordSetter Book of World Records captures all the exuberance, energy, and quirky good humor of the records and record-setters. Here are more than 300 of the longest, loudest, slowest, weirdest, coolest, and most-difficult-to-break world records. There are Food & Drink Records. Sports & Games Records. Records set by (not-so) average Joes, and records set by celebrities (Most Bunnies Snuggled in a Hammock by Cameron Diaz).

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 Telescope - 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 Snapshot – 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 acclaimed 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 Kong right up to Minecraft and Fortnite
