10 предложений о книге рекордов гинеса. На английском

Guinness World Records is a reference book published annually, listing world records, both human achievements and the extremes of the natural world.

It has information about the world's tallest, shortest, loudest, heaviest, richest, rarest and greatest.

It demonstrates people's achievements in nearly every field: from sports to politics, from entertainment to science, from the business world to pastimes. It is also a wonderful portrait of human eccentricity, showing the great lengths to which some people will go to become record breakers.

Thousands of people from pole to pole try to get into the Guinness Book of World Records. However, it isn't easy. The record must be measurable, it must be the subject of worldwide interest, it must be checked by experts.

Guinness World Records states several types of records it will not accept for ethical reasons, such as those related to the killing or harming of animals.

Guinness also opened a chain of museums in Europe and North America to show the public some of the many amazing facts found in the book.

Visitors can see a life-size statue of the world's tallest man and other lifelike statues of individuals who ran, walked, kissed, crawled, dived, pulled, high-jumped, and clapped their way into history.
