Have you ever wondered how a dinosaur would measure up against the Great Pyramids of Giza, if a hummingbird could outfly a jet plane, or how many atoms could fit inside a grain of sand? These are just some of the questions explored in this extraordinary book of comparisons.

Detailed images drawn to scale, informative text and unexpected visual analogies will help the reader to comprehend just how fast, how strong, how small and how big things really are. With stunning Victorian-style artwork by award-winning illustrator Page Tsou, this visual feast of a compendium will surprise and delight inquisitive minds in equal measure.

Peek inside and discover a beetle that is stronger than an elephant, meet the pterosaur that was bigger than a spitfire and explore the furthest reaches of the known universe.

 

國際知名的臺灣新生代插畫家鄒駿昇,繼2017年廣受好評的《最高的山‧最深的海――世界自然奇觀》後,再次推出世界之最系列的第二本繪本。這次,觀看世界的尺度放得更大、更廣,不只上山下海,還要帶我們縱橫古今,從地球開天闢地以來的漫長歷史中,尋找真正的世界之最。
 
於是我們可以看到,站在三千萬年前的「巨犀」身旁,大象竟有如小嬰孩一般;3隻長頸鹿疊羅漢,也才勉強和長頸恐龍「完美波塞東龍」一樣高!
 
然而,面對這麼多世界之最,人類到底算老幾?本書的另一大特色,就是讓人類以及人類的各項工程成就,和世界之王們大PK!

在速度競賽中,轎車擊敗獵豹,但太空梭俯衝的速度,卻輸給朱紅蜂鳥!世界最長的人造建築萬里長城,和世界最長山脈比一比,到底誰比較長?人類和螞蟻比舉重,勝負結果又會如何?
