Guinness World Records fête, avec ce millésime 2015, son 60e anniversaire. La 1re édition de ce best-seller a été publiée en 1955 au Royaume-Uni. Le monde a bien changé depuis. Pourtant, certains records n''ont jamais été égalés : Robert Wadlow reste l''homme le plus grand de l''Histoire et aucun groupe n''a encore vendu plus de disques que Bill Hailey avec son " Rock Around The Clock ". Au fil de son histoire, le Guinness World Records a montré une incroyable capacité d''adaptation aux nouvelles générations de lecteurs. Chaque année, tout est repensé : la maquette, les photos, les sujets. La mise en page de l''édition 2015 s''inspire ainsi des tablettes numériques pour plus de clarté dans la présentation des informations. Des focus ont été réalisés sur l''actualité brûlante de notre société : l''impression en 3D, le partage en ligne de vidéos et de photos, etc. Le Guinness World Records ne serait pas le Guinness Word Records s''il ne présentait pas des records inédits : pour les trois quarts ils sont tout nouveaux ou mis à jour. Quant aux images choisies de page en page, vous ne les verrez nulle part ailleurs ! Quoi de neuf dans l''édition 2015 ? Intelligence artificielle : les robots sont à votre porte ! Ils feront bientôt partie de la famille. Les transports urbains les plus insolites. Incroyables châteaux : inspiré par Games of Throne, l''expert " architecture " de Guinness World Records nous révèle les secrets des châteaux et des forteresses. La chasse aux aliens : tout sur l''intelligence extraterrestre. Les grandes affaires de fraude. Le crowdsourcing : ces films, jeux vidéo et gadgets issus des réseaux sociaux. L''impression en 3D : une révolution dans la façon dont nos produits de consommation sont fabriqués et vendus. Les livres numériques : comment le numérique révolutionne le monde de l''édition. Toujours plus ! La réalité augmentée s''invite dans le livre, dès la couverture.
