  <default_description>Guinness World Records 2008 continues to builds on the intriguing, informative, inspiring and instructional records and superlatives that have made Guinness World Records one of the most famous brands and books in the world. This year, we've created a revolutionary new design and filled it with more records than ever before. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; New content areas include: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;* FORENSIC SCIENCE: An insight into the real-life superlatives of the crime-scene investigators... A must for CSI fans! &lt;br&gt;* THE ENVIRONMENT: How real is the threat of global warming? A look at some of the recent environmental records... &lt;br&gt;* HEALTH OF THE NATION: We take a snapshot of human health today and ask: who's the fittest and who's the fattest?   &lt;br&gt;* GAMES &amp; PUZZLES: An interactive spread that allows you to test your smarts: from the first ever crossword question to the fastest sudoku, how will you fare? &lt;br&gt;* EPIC ENDEAVOURS: Our largest-ever celebration of the superheroes who head for the poles, scale the heights, cross the globe and probe the depths... &lt;br&gt;* TERRORISM &amp; CONFLICT: Hard-hitting records and reportage on the deadliest threats to our modern society &lt;br&gt;* BRANDS &amp; ADVERTISING: The biggest names and even bigger budgets behind the brands and adverts we're exposed to every day  &lt;br&gt;* HOME ENTERTAINMENT and CONSUMER TECH: The gadgets and media that we simply can't live without - from the best-selling DVDs to the most powerful computer games consoles. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; As well as all the updated annual favorites including; ACTION SPORTS, CUTTING EDGE SCIENCE, INCREDIBLE STUNTS and INSPIRATIONAL PEOPLE.</default_description>
