“From the world\u2019s most dangerous records to extreme pioneers to apocalyptic predictions and beyond, we focused on mankind\u2019s outliers to show the amazing array of superlatives the world has created,\u201d said Craig Glenday, Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, the 2012 edition also contains all of the classic content readers have come to expect from our books, as well as radical records stemming from cutting-edge creators in the fields of social media, fashion and alternative energies.\u201d<\/div>\n
