This book is a personal, photographic diary-record of twenty years
of the London art world, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the
London Art and Artists Guide. John Russell Taylor has written an
illuminating introduction, showing how these photographs are a
personal record of who was who and what was what on the London art
scene of the 1980s and the 1990s. These photographs will be seen in
the future as a social document, showing how exhibitions have
changed over twenty years. This book is an insider's visual diary
to the London art world, showing how it can be like the theater
stage, with players waiting in the wings: having deadaches,
hangovers, heartache and coping with gossip, pressure, competition
and occasionally auditioning for the limelight, which can be brief
or of long duration depending on passing trends. Center stage are
David Hockney, Allen Jones and other lesser known artists, beside
art dealers, critics, curators who appear in and out of
exhibitions, studios and at art fairs. "Even putting aside the
frequent beauty of these images as images, for anyone who needs to
look beyond easy nostalgia and use them as a learning tool, the
collection should be a treasure trove indeed. - John Russell
Taylor, Times, London
From Francesca Cavallo, author of the NY Times bestseller Good
Night Stories for Rebel Girls. This is the true story of
Jean-Baptiste Alaize. Now an exceptional sprinter and long jumper,
Jean-Baptiste lost his right leg when he was just three years old
during the civil war in Burundi. When he met his adoptive dad,
Robert, Jean-Baptiste had never seen a white man before. But they
bonded over the fact that his dad too had lost his right leg in an
accident years before. Through the story of this extraordinary
athlete, The Long Jump tackles themes such as transracial adoption,
living with a disability, finding your purpose and achieving your
dreams. Paralympians is a non-fiction picture book series telling
the stories of four champions who do things their own way and are
reinventing sport.
Accompanying the curriculum guides are a series of student
booklets. Each booklet in this series is filled with games such as
mazes, puzzles, connect-the-dots, word finds, and much more -- all
designed around the Olympic theme.
For many sports fans there's no such thing as too much hockey. And
in I Spy with My Little Eye Hockey, young readers get double the
fun. Matt Napier, author of Z is for Zamboni: A Hockey Alphabet,
teams up with photographer David Milne to create a visual puzzle
book that challenges the deductive skills and sharp eyes of young
readers. Dual look-alike photographs are filled with hockey masks,
sticks, pucks, even miniature ice rinks and trading cards. But one
of the scenes has been slightly altered. Can you see the changes?
How many can you find? Poetic clues help young fans and seasoned
veterans find the various differences between each pair of scenes.
From the number of Zambonis on the ice to the sweaters hung in a
locker room, hockey fans of all ages will enjoy this new way of
spying the game!
'There's a growing awareness that for the good of their health,
children need to be out and about more, with their friends,
exploring the outdoor world in their own way.' - Nicola Butler,
Director of the Free Play Network
It is widely acknowledged that children today do not get
outdoors often enough and there are serious concerns about

This book is a guidebook to setting up an outdoor physical
activity programme in any early years setting. The book focuses on
how getting outdoors and taking part in physical activities will
provide children with positive fun experiences to enhance their
general learning and development. The programme can be adapted to
suit any timescale - from a whole term to one or two days.
Key features include showing practitioners:
- how to make the most of their outdoor area for all
children
- step by step explanations to the outdoor activities
- how to engage participants (including parents)
- how to set up and plan activities
- ideas for group and individual assessment

Jasmine Lopez and her brother Arjun love exploring the coral reefs
around Fiji, where their marine biologist parents are stationed.
Jasmine, already a certified scuba diver, dreams of following in
her parents' footsteps and wants to help Arjun do the same.
Unfortunately her younger brother is sure he already knows
everything. That attitude gets them into danger when Arjun drifts
too far from the group during a dive - and straight into a reef
shark.
Games obsessed the Victorian and Edwardian public schools. The
obsession has become widely known as athleticism. When it appeared
in 1981, this book was the first major study of the games ethos
which dominated the lives of many Victorian and Edwardian public
schoolboys. Written with Professor Mangan's customary panache, it
has become a classic, the seminal work on the social and cultural
history of modern sport.
