Book Reviews of Guinness World Records 2007 (Guinness Book of Records)
Book Review: Guiness World Records - 2007
Summary: 5 Stars
Overall, this work is perfect for the student in your house. It has a
plethora of subjects ranging from pop culture to the most discriminating
scientific facts imaginable. Here are some of the more notable frames:
- a flexman with almost perfect flexibility of the upper back and torso
- Jeanne Calment born 2-21-1875 and lived to 8-4-1997
- Iszumi, the oldest man living to age 120 and born in 1865
- the life expectancy of Andorra at 83+ years
- the Orion Nebula which is the brightest in the sky
- the stretchiest skin on any living human being
- the Grand Canyon extending from the Marble Gorge to the Grand Wash Cliffs
- Mt. Nyiragongo in Congo with an active lava lake
- the Green Great Wall which is a 2783 mile belt of forest preserve
due to be completed by mid-century
- the deepest cave Krubera
- 136 degrees which is the highest temperature ever recorded
The work represents a fair cross-section of the world's most little
known facts and/or trendy trivia. Some reviewers were offended by a few
pop culture references. The presentation should reflect contemporary society comprehensively. Overall, the acquisition is a good value for
the price charged. As an experienced lecturer at the collegiate level,
I don't think parents can insulate young adults from the forces which shape the world around them.
