Highlights:
This year’s edition compiles the very best of the thousands of new records approved over the past year. And with lockdowns and quarantines gradually becoming a distant memory for much of the world, the claims have bene flooding in!

Take the plunge with our opening BLUE PLANET chapter, celebrating watery wonders from rivers, lakes and oceans to icescapes and hot springs.
HISTORY is a new feature chapter for GWR 2024. Egyptians, pirates, catapulting knights, vampires and ghosts all vie for your attention in this crazy chronicle of the past 2,000 years.
In the poster-like Explainers, 3D artist Alex Pang peels away the layers of some iconic record breakers. Have you ever seen inside an octopus’s head? Or wondered how the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park are brought to life? Let us explain…
And finally, we end the book with every significant new sporting achievement logged in the 30-page SPORTS chapter.
For this year’s edition, award-winning artist Rod Hunt has created a dazzling cover packed with record holders. How many can you spot? This is Rod’s fourth and (sadly) final outing for GWR, and as we’re focusing on the theme of water this time around, he’s conjured up an aquatic wonderland. Once again, it “jigsaws” with the covers for the past three years, making a beautiful, highly collectable composite that transports you from the outer reaches of space to the depths of Earth’s oceans.

Brief Answers To The Big Questions

Highlights:
The world-famous cosmologist and #1 bestselling author of A Brief History of Time leaves us with his final thoughts on the universe’s biggest questions in this brilliant posthumous work.

Is there a God?
How did it all begin?
Can we predict the future?
What is inside a black hole?
Is there other intelligent life in the universe?
Will artificial intelligence outsmart us?
How do we shape the future?
Will we survive on Earth?
Should we colonise space?
Is time travel possible?

Throughout his extraordinary career, Stephen Hawking expanded our understanding of the universe and unravelled some of its greatest mysteries. But even as his theoretical work on black holes, imaginary time and multiple histories took his mind to the furthest reaches of space, Hawking always believed that science could also be used to fix the problems on our planet.

And now, as we face potentially catastrophic changes here on Earth – from climate change to dwindling natural resources to the threat of artificial super-intelligence – Stephen Hawking turns his attention to the most urgent issues for humankind.

Wide-ranging, intellectually stimulating, passionately argued, and infused with his characteristic humour, BRIEF ANSWERS TO THE BIG QUESTIONS, the final book from one of the greatest minds in history, is a personal view on the challenges we face as a human race, and where we, as a planet, are heading next.

The Making of a CEO

Highlights:

The Making of a CEO is the illuminating result of interviews with high-level executives across various sectors. The idea for the book originated in a popular course Sandeep taught at IIM Bangalore, where the students spoke to CEOs about the key aspects of the journey to the top-building professional credibility, and managing one’s career and oneself.
The book also explores the nuances of leadership in start-ups, large corporations, family businesses, educational institutions, not-for-profit organizations, the public sector and the government sector.
The Making of a CEO is a must-read for anyone who aspires to be in the top job.

How The Body Works

Highlights:

Gr 9 Up—This latest from DK offers a straightforward presentation of anatomical facts, ranging from the expected (cell diagrams, body systems, nutrition) to the delightfully obscure (the multiple immune system cells used to defeat pathogens, the chemical effects of near-death experiences). Boasting full-color illustrations on every page, which are surrounded by brief paragraphs of text, this title avoids a blanch-inducing textbook format. Even the most science-timid readers will find engagement in its creative exhibitions of diagrams and demonstrations. The book’s coverage, however, is broad, rather than deep; for example, the chemical factors behind sexual attraction are listed, but no further exploration of different sexualities is pursued. Additionally, the text occasionally employs the second person “you,” resulting in ambiguity over who is being addressed. This usage is especially confusing in the sidebar on menstruation in the “Feeling Attraction” spread, where the text conjectures that “you tend to flirt more and dress more attractively” during ovulation. This deviation from fact to social observation, here and in other areas, may be perplexing or jarring for readers. Otherwise, this volume is an ideal reference for those tackling challenging biology or anatomy homework. With the extensive index, finding explanations of terms is easy. Where the layout stumbles is its unorthodox page numbering. Both numbers are listed on the upper right corner of each spread, making accurate citation difficult. VERDICT This is a solid buy for all YA nonfiction purchasers keeping their 600s up-to-date.—Chelsea Woods, New Brunswick Free Public Library, NJ
“About this title” may belong to another edition of this title.
