 MILSTEIN HALL OF OCEAN LIFE | American Museum of Natural History
Jaques' father was not a success as a farmer, and in the spring of 1903, the family packed their belongings into a wagon and headed north in search of inexpensive land.
Soon thereafter, Jaques was hired as a staff artist by the Museum and found himself working alongside some of the country's leading scientists, traveling the world on Museum expeditions, and gaining recognition as one of America's foremost wildlife artists.
Jaques was in many ways an archetypal American—possessed with independence, pragmatism, and pioneer roots—and his work can be viewed as a visual expression of the American wilderness ethic.

 Elliott Jaques
Jaques, who graduated from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and earned a Ph.D. in social relations from Harvard University, became well known for identifying and coining the "mid-life crisis" and his breakthrough discovery that a person's capability to perform complex tasks is both a lifelong evolution and predictable.
Jaques is recognized throughout the world for the discoveries he made in the social sciences, contributing in a significant way to our understanding of human nature and social institutions.
Jaques' contributions are multi-disciplinary and include fundamental developments in our understanding of the meaning of work and in the evaluation and development of individuals engaged in work, as well a method for objectively measuring the complexity of work roles.

 Croquet World Online Magazine | News & Features
Jaques has reportedly informed the present day Council that their new plastic ball, in development "for five or six years" will be available for testing by the Croquet Association in October.
Although Jaques' "official account" of the fire suggests that the existing stocks of Eclipse balls were destroyed in the fire, that is clearly not true, as favored customers and distributors are still receiving large orders and in some cases being promised further shipments.
Jaques' "official" history, as recorded in the booklet they produced to celebrate their bicentennial in 1995, declares that John Jaques II introduced croquet to England at the Great International Exhibition in Hyde Park in 1851 and won a Gold Medal for it, though other croquet historians do not confirm this.

Jaques, meanwhile, is putting up a near watertight case for a permanent limited overs spot, but Gilchrist said he was happy with the stability offered by Katich.

A British passport holder, Jaques was the victim of a country tug-o-war in 2003 after scoring 1409 County Championship runs with Northamptonshire, but he refused to commit to England because "my heart says Australia".
Jaques had to introduce himself to Ricky Ponting before his Test debut, but his reputation had already excited the Australian captain, and Steve Waugh believes he has the potential to be the next Adam Gilchrist.

 Jaques doubles the agony for ailing Redbacks - Cricket - www.smh.com.au
After South Australia's first-innings 29 and Nathan Bracken's 7-4 on day one, Jaques made his way to a magnificent 217 yesterday, which heightened the visitors' humiliation and should also be the making of the left-hander as a NSW batsman.
Jaques, who had previously scored only one century in 15 appearances for the Blues, helped NSW to 9(dec)-430, which will make for astonishing reading in years to come when observers note it produced a first-innings lead of 401.
While that was always certain, barring rain, after the first innings, Jaques ensured he would make the match personally memorable with his seven-hour innings laced with 30 fours, many from punishing pull shots and imposing lofted drives.

 As You Like It Jaques
In the first excerpt, Oscar James Campbell interprets Jaques from a historical perspective, noting events in Shakespeare's own lifetime that strongly influenced his dramatization of the character.
In the second excerpt, Harold C. Goddard maintains that Jaques cannot completely withdraw from the society he hates because he needs an audience for his tirades against humanity.
According to the critic, Jaques reflects the stock Elizabethan literary figure of the malcontent traveler who, upon returning home from his sojourn to other countries, is corrupt, bitter, and bored with life.
