High school days in Africa were ones of challenge, hard-work and fun. I attended a total four high schools commencing Form 1 at Vainona High School, Forms 3 at Benoni and Churchill High Schools, and sixth form college at ILSA. During my time I faced many struggles and adjustments, but throughout my high school era I never failed a public exam (ZJC; O-, AS- and A-Levels; and Maths Olympiad). I also took a keen interest in sport and clubs. In particular I represented my schools in innumerable chess tournaments. There were also the times of flirting and romance. Punishments included the cane, manual labour and detention. Suspension and expulsions were only for very serious offences. I hope that this book brings back high school memories to each reader.

Geographers: Biobibliographical Studies, Volume 37 explores the concept of distinction in geography. Through the lives of six geographers working in Brazil, North America, Europe and Réunion, it investigates what distinction consists of, how we identify and celebrate it and how it relates to quotidian practices in the discipline. The volume highlights the continuing importance of biography and the International Geographical Union in recording and assessing distinction. It also considers the relevance of personal networks for the circulation and translation of distinguished geographical knowledge, and how this knowledge can underpin applied projects and critical appraisal of geographical scholarship, both at a national and sub-national level. Gendered notions of distinction are also addressed, particularly through June Sheppard, who found limited recognition for her work as a result of gendered expectations within the discipline and society at large. By reflecting on how we locate distinguished geographers and tell their histories, Geographers: Biobibliographical Studies, Volume 37 makes an important contribution to fostering less canonical work in historical geography.
