Literary leader: Through written (and spoken) word, Stoy Hedges trains tens of thousands

摘要

With the combined professional skill sets of a scientist and an entomologist, Stoy Hedges has forged a significant literary impact on the pest management industry. Consider his body of written work, which includes: author of more than 160 trade journal articles; author of ANThology: The Best of Stoy Hedges; author of five Field Guides about ants, beetles, flies and spiders; and editorial director of the three editions of the Mallis Handbook of Pest Control "People ask me, 'Have you always wanted to be an entomologist?'" Hedges says. "I always reply, 'Not in my mother's womb, but right after that, yes.' I always knew I'd grow up to be a scientist of some kind, and so did my classmates. I had a chemistry set and ran my own experiments. As a freshman in high school, I knew I'd be attending Purdue to study entomology."
