In recent years many first-hand memories of the World Wars and other significant events of the twentieth century have been captured in print and on film. Though extensive, these are only a fraction of the collective memory of the people affected. Most of those involved have now gone, but their memories live on through the people they have told - their families and their friends - but this generation too will pass and with them the wealth of stories they hold on to. As Memories Fade will record these stories in a series of books. Inevitably, many of these stories will be based on wartime experiences, but the series extends into other areas of human endeavour. Many are told by their descendants based on memories and research into surviving documentation others are told by the individuals themselves or by those who knew them. These stories are more than extended anecdotes and have a broader theme relevant to a wider audience. There is a balance of stories about both rich and poor, male and female. Some stories may be about prominent people, but many are about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

On the morning of August 5, 1984, four of the greatest marathoners of all time lined up for one of the most important and long-awaited races in history. By then, they had dominated their competition for at least five years, upending a century's worth of preconceived notions of what marathoners could do. By decade's end, they had lowered the world record a total of 13 minutes, won 27 major marathon titles, and swept every Olympic and World Championship held in the 1980s. And, in their careers, only once did all four--American Joan Benoit, Norwegians Grete Waitz and Ingrid Kristiansen, and Portugal's Rosa Mota--square off in the same race: at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, in the first-ever Women's Olympic Marathon. Such was their talent that Benoit, the world record holder, entered the race as the underdog. She'd had knee surgery in April, and no one, least of all Benoit herself, was certain she could hold up for 26 miles against her three rivals. Waitz, the former world record holder, was the favorite--she had destroyed the field at the 1983 World Championships and had never lost a marathon she had finished. Kristiansen, who had beaten Waitz twice in the summer of 1984 (albeit at shorter distances), was considered the fastest woman in the race: she held world records at 5,000m and 10,000m, and would break Benoit's marathon record in 1985. Mota had beaten Kristiansen at the 1982 European marathon championships, and was already earning a reputation for raising her level in the biggest races. This is their story, and the story of the first women's Olympic Marathon.

Sets out how pastoral care fits in as a crucial aspect of the function and purpose of schooling and shares practical insights on how schools can get it right. Within the current culture of interest in developing research-informed approaches to teaching, the focus has inevitably been focused around pedagogy. However, with the well-documented increase in pupil anxiety and mental ill-health in recent times, there is also a pressing need for schools and teachers to embrace a more rigorous approach to pastoral care. In this urgently needed book, teacher and Head of Year Stephen Lane (aka Sputnik Steve) presents a case for developing a research-informed, academic approach to the pastoral aspect of teaching and considers how schools might go about it. Beyond Wiping Noses is the result of Steve's own explorations of pastoral practice in order to develop a more informed response to the challenges he has faced during his 20 years in education. Steve expertly surveys the field of pastoral provision and leadership, details the variety of pastoral roles typically found in schools, and shares practical takeaways around how schools can build an integrated and rigorous approach to taking care of their pupils. Suitable for teachers, school leaders and anyone with a pastoral role in any school setting.
