| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This is a reference guide to various World Records. Includes information on the "Guinness World Records" and covers topics including people, sports, motion, national records, man-made objects, and physical phenomena. A world record is usually the best global performance ever recorded in a specific skill or sport. The book Guinness World Records collates and publishes notable records of all types, from first and best to worst human achievements, to extremes in the natural world and beyond. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
