The idea came about in the early 1950’s when Sir Hugh Beaver (1890—1967), Managing Director of the Guinness Brewery, attended a shooting party in County Wexford.

In 1954, recalling his shooting party argument, Sir Hugh had the idea for a Guinness promotion based on the idea of settling pub arguments and invited the twins Norris (1925—2004) and Ross McWhirter (1925—75) who were fact-finding researchers from Fleet Street to compile a book of facts and figures.
Guinness Superlatives was incorporated on 30 November and the office opened in two rooms in a converted gymnasium on the top floor of Ludgate House, 107 Fleet Street.

In this book, Jonathan Kozol wrote an ethnography of public schools in Chicago and its suburbs. Kozol argued that, because schools were funded by local property taxes, children in poor neighborhoods were necessarily trapped in poor schools. This system reinforces inequality. He also records the many differences between "poor" and "rich" schools," which included the difference in funding in arts and music and the number of foreign language teachers, nurses, librarians and psychologists.
