Part of an exciting series of sturdy, square-box 1000-piece jigsaw
puzzles from Flame Tree, featuring powerful and popular works of
art. This new jigsaw will satisfy your need for a challenge, with
L.S. Lowry's Going to Work. This 1000 piece jigsaw is intended for
adults and children over 13 years. Not suitable for children under
3 years due to small parts. Finished Jigsaw size 735 x 510mm/29 x
20 ins. Now includes an A4 poster for reference. This painting is
an example of one of L.S. Lowry's famous crowd scenes. The colour
palette is unusually light and airy for the artist, with pink and
gold-tinged buildings lifting the atmosphere. Lowry said of this
painting, 'To say the truth, I was not thinking very much about the
people ... They were part of a private beauty that haunted me!' In
his many depictions of north-west England Lowry makes industrial
scenes his own, showing how industry had affected the landscape and
how the inhabitants of the urban areas lived out their daily lives.
Marches, evictions, accident s, illness, relaxation at the park or
the fair, going to work, coming out o f school and going to the
football match were all subjects for Lowry's brush or pencil. His
works were created in his own unique style, poetic yet not
sentimental, compelling, even at times disturbing, but never
judgemental.
Can you really keep your eye on the ball? How is massive data
collection changing sports? Sports science courses are growing in
popularity. The author's course at Roanoke College is a mix of
physics, physiology, mathematics, and statistics. Many students of
both genders find it exciting to think about sports. Sports
problems are easy to create and state, even for students who do not
live sports 24/7. Sports are part of their culture and knowledge
base, and the opportunity to be an expert on some area of sports is
invigorating. This should be the primary reason for the growth of
mathematics of sports courses: the topic provides intrinsic
motivation for students to do their best work. From the Author:
"The topics covered in Sports Science and Sports Analytics courses
vary widely. To use a golfing analogy, writing a book like this is
like hitting a drive at a driving range; there are many directions
you can go without going out of bounds. At the driving range, I
pick out a small target to focus on, and that is what I have done
here. I have chosen a sample of topics I find very interesting.
Ideally, users of this book will have enough to choose from to suit
whichever version of a sports course is being run." "The book is
very appealing to teach from as well as to learn from. Students
seem to have a growing interest in ways to apply traditionally
different areas to solve problems. This, coupled with an enthusiasm
for sports, makes Dr. Minton's book appealing to me."-Kevin Hutson,
Furman University
A wonderfully stimulating collection of quizzes and puzzles based on the richly imaginative world of Thomas Hardy's six best-loved novels.
This Hardy-themed quiz book includes: crosswords based on love, song and dance and architecture; anagrams concealing the names of some of Hardy’s rustic characters; and wordsearches hiding the names of romantic protagonists.
Quizzes test your memory of his six best-loved novels: Far from the Madding Crowd, The Return of the Native, The Mayor of Casterbridge, The Woodlanders, Tess of the d’Urbervilles and Jude the Obscure. Each quiz explores a different aspect - from proposals, faces and inns to relations, food and drink.
Hardy’s famous invented place-names feature in the Wessex Words puzzles and two mazes, ‘Jude’s Journey’ and ‘In the Footsteps of Tess’.
Included inside are charming line drawings from Donald Maxwell's The Landscape of Thomas Hardy, published in 1928, the year of Hardy’s death. The artist discussed the views his drawings depict with Hardy himself. The cover shows a wood engraving by English artist Vivien Massie Gribble, created for a 1926 edition of Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d’Urbervilles.
