Peter Heidenstrom, who died in 2007 aged 77, was New Zealand's most perceptive and widely published writer on athletics and he put his extensive records and encyclopedic knowledge into the most comprehensive book on New Zealand athletics ever written. Athletes of the Century was published in 1992 containing detailed information covering 100 years of men and women's track, field and long distance events. Over 50 years of research went into producing this definitive reference book.
