This book brings you the first, fastest, longest, largest, biggest, and best records in the world. Track the world's longest migrations, visit the coolest place on the planet (Vostok Station, Antarctica, a chilling minus 89.2 C), see how plane pioneer Chuck Yeager first broke the sound barrier, and much more. The greatest human achievements are showcased, from pioneering inventors to modern feats of engineering, technology, transport, and sport. But there's far more than just people power in this book! There are also records about animals, plants, Earth, and space.
