Description
Joan Procter, Dragon Doctor, tells the inspiring story of a pioneering woman scientist whose passion for reptiles shaped a life of discovery, care, and courage. Through her work with these often-misunderstood creatures, she challenges the expectations placed on women in science while building a legacy rooted in empathy and curiosity. The book explores themes of perseverance, scientific wonder, and the power of love—showing how devotion to a subject can transform both a career and the way others see the natural world. Written with an accessible, narrative-driven approach, Patricia Valdez brings Procter’s world to life, blending biography with the broader history of wildlife study and conservation.
