A lavishly-illustrated guide to real-life wonders large and small! Dive into the biggest, the fastest and the strongest, from nature to technology to the miracles of the human body.
A gorilla is stronger than a human, but who is the strongest of all? Who's the oldest? Come to think of it, who eats the most? And if we're really asking important questions: who poops the most? (Among mammals, pandas are the champions.)
From Earth's largest mountain (it's not Everest, but Hawaii's Mauna Kea) to Typhoon Tip (the most massive storm in recorded history), we'll journey from the microscopic to the vast, from the long-extinct to the futuristic. This is a book of tiny cells and distant galaxies, massive trees and poisonous spiders. Meet the Parker Solar Probe (the fastest space ship), the Argentinosaurus (the largest land animal of all time), as well as deadly volcanos--and a squid with a giant eye. And along the way, comprehend the universe at its most amazing, most astounding and most unbelievable.
