Guinness World Records in the world
Ethical issues and safety concerns
· The Guinness Book also dropped
records within their "eating and drinking records" section of Human Achievements in 1991 over concerns that potential competitors could do harm to themselves and expose the publisher to potential litigation. • These changes included the removal of all liquor, wine, and beer drinking records. Other records, such as sword swallowing, were closed as the current holders had performed beyond safe human tolerance levels.
Evolution
• Recent editions have focused on record feats by human competitors. Besides records about competitions, it contains such facts as the heaviest tumor, the most poisonous plant, the shortest river (Roe River). Many records also relate to the youngest person who achieved something. • Each edition contains a selection of the large set of records in the Guinness database, and the criteria for that choice have changed over the years. The newest records are added, and the records that have been updated are added too. • The Guinness Book of Records is the world's most sold copyrighted book, thus earning it an entry within its own pages. A number of spin-off books and television series have also been produced. Again the emphasis in these shows has been on spectacular, entertaining stunts, rather than any aspiration to inform or educate.

Ethical issues and safety concerns
• Several world records that were once included in the book have been removed for ethical reasons. • By publishing world records in a category, the book may encourage others to try to beat that record, even at the expense of their own health and safety. • For example, following publication of a “heaviest cat” record, many cat owners overfed their pets beyond the bounds of what was healthy, so entries such as these were removed.

The origin
•
On 4 May 1951, Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director of the Guinness Breweries, went on a shooting party. He became involved in an argument over which was the fastest game bird in Europe, the koshin golden plover or the grouse. That evening, he realized that it was impossible to confirm in reference books whether or not the golden plover was Europe's fastest game bird. Beaver knew that there must be numerous other questions debated nightly in pubs throughout Ireland, but there was no book in the world with which to settle arguments about records. He realized then that a book supplying the answers to this sort of question might prove popular. So The Guinness Book of Records was released and became a surprise hit.
