Dissectology: Life Lessons from Jigsaw Puzzles

Just as during the years of the Spanish Influenza (1918) and the Great Depression (1929-33), these days jigsaw puzzles of all types are having a renaissance. We can thank this phenomenon in part to two main factors-the Coronavirus (Covid19) pandemic and social media. The virus has caused the closing of many businesses and quarantined families within their homes.Also, social media has heavily promoted jigsaw puzzling, yet ironically, and at the same time, we yearn to disconnect from social media. We want to slow down the busyness and the cacophony of day-to-day life. We yearn to return to quieter, more peaceful hobbies and practices.In this fun book, you will: -Learn about the origins of the earliest jigsaw puzzles.-Examine the evolution of puzzle creation over the centuries.-Consider the physical and social benefits of working puzzles.-Read fascinating accounts of other eccentric and award-winning puzzlers.-Acquire the resources to start or continue your own puzzle hobby.-Think about the life lessons that parallel aspects of puzzle assembling.-Marvel at the puzzle innovations of the future.Come! Gather with your loved ones, young and old, around the puzzle table. Challenging fun and good conversation await!
