Unique
Guinness World Records is unique in that it was the first to certify all kinds of weird records. For example, Fastest Banana Eater. All the records are certified. Some records are continually broken. This book is the inspiration for the eating contests like the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating which is held every year on July 4th. Then there are records like the oldest verified human being. Sorry ...

Now in its Sixth Edition, The Human Record continues to be the leading primary source reader for the World History course. Each volume contains a blend of visual and textual sources; these sources are often paired or grouped together for comparison. A prologue entitled, "Primary Sources and How to Read Them," appears in each volume and serves as a valuable pedagogical tool. Unlike many world history texts that center on the West, The Human ...

For those interested.
Well, needless to say, it's a dry topic, but the book does a good job of trying to lower the dullness by speaking in very plain English and making it a colorful, picture filled text. The primary shortcoming of this book isn't so much the book itself, but the activity kit that corresponds with it. The shortcoming of it being that it does not tell you when things can be disposed of, so by the ...

Genesis Record, The: A Scientific and Devotional Commentary on the Book of Beginnings

Literal and Challenging
The Genesis Record is possibly the most challenging commentary on Genesis you could find. I mean this in terms of it's literal approach. It goes out of its way to determine the importance of plenary verbal inspiration. Most commentaries on Genesis have to ignore certain things to make a general summary that the whole point of the book was simply to get the reader to understand that the God of ...

The story of my brother's life
I actually purchased this book for my brother who has an underground record label, going on about 5 years (?). He said it's absolutely amazing and that he can relate to most of the things that are covered. It has a lot of great suggestions and views on running a pre-existing record label and even starting one from scratch. He has learned a lot of legal issues too that he's taken care of and this ...

Offers several points of view
This is not a book of one historian's view on past events, it is a collection of mostly firsthand accounts written by people who were experiencing the event at the time. The editors write a brief introduction to each chapter to fit it into the "big picture" and then allows the writer to tell his/her story. This approach was a much better way to hold my interest than it would have been to ...

A passionate and romantic story
"Six Records" (also known as "Six Chapters of a Floating Life"), c. 1805, is an extraordinarily frank autobiography that is totally unprecedented and unparalleled in the history of Chinese literature. It describes the life of the author Shen Fu and his beloved wife, Ch'en Yun (1763-1803), in extremely revealing detail. The intimacy and joy shared by the couple are as unusual by normal standards ...

Powerful Information
So far 3/4 of the way through. The book is filled with lots of powerful information. Perfect for someone seeking a big picture view of the state of the industry and a look at the field with a global perspective. I thought that parts were somewhat hard to keep my attention, although a portion of the information is review, as I have been a student of the industry. Great for the present time. ...

Small Facts -- Big Fun!
This record book is the best that Guiness has put out. Full of large pictures, some that fold out, and more detailed explanations of the feats that are considered world records. Granted, some records are serious and important. Some, however are just silly and intertaining. This is definitely the book for the person who loves to know all the arcane things.

A Review of The Human Record: Sources of Global History
The Human Record: Sources of Global History is an excellent introduction for History students in analyzing and discussing primary source material. The editors have selected not only the most interesting but also the most useful sources in World History. Selections range from the Epic of Gilgamesh, The Book of Genesis, Code of Hammurabi, the Analects, Bhagavad Gita, etc. The only critque I have ...

A True World Record
It is interesting how everything in the lives of these case examinations falls into place once we move back and see the bigger picture. It all makes sense now. Whatever we don't resolve in one life moves on into the next. Never in my wildest dreams would I have considered the movie "Groundhog Day" a documentary. I could not put this book down. I even gave it to friends who scoffed at ...
