This new edition of Gem World Records not only includes the latest records but also is now illustrated throughout in full colour to bring alive records from space, from the Earth, from the natural world and from human endeavour.
This Gem is being published in flexibinding, providing the durability of a hardback with the flexibility of a paperback. With its stylish new cover design, Gem World Records, and its Companion volume Gem Firsts, provide hundreds of answers to those questions of who, what, which and when.
With this book you will be able to answer many queries
which is the nearest star and how long would it take to get there?
which is the longest river on Earth – or the coldest place?
which is the tallest tree – or the smallest bird?
which is the fastest vehicle – or the longest bridge?
what is the record for the 100 metres, who holds it and when?
Along with the answers, background information is provided to put these records in context and photographs give visual meaning to the records.
