Valley of the Dragons – The Story of New Zealand’s Dinosaur Woman
Description
In the 1970s an amateur paleontologist, Joan Wiffen, began making discoveries from a remote site in Hawke’s Bay. By 1982 she had conclusively proved that dinosaurs once lived in New Zealand.
This is her story. It is the story of how an ordinary housewife upon retirement deceided that she wanted to do something different with her life. Her husband’s night classes in geology became the unlikely starting point of an adventure that would eventually lead to international accalim and recognition. After years of exacting research, often in appalling conditions, her discoveries have revolutionised our thinking about our past.
To many people she is simply known as the ‘Dinosaur Woman’.
