Synopsis
Excerpt from Eleanor Ormerod, LL. D: Economic Entomologist, Autobiography and Correspondence
A strong vein of humour runs through many parts of her writings, notably in the chapter on Church and Parish. The reader will not fail to notice the Splendid courtesy and deference to scientific authority, as well as the fullest appreciation of and unselfish sympathy with the genuine scientific work of others, which pervades all she wrote. Prominent among these characteristics of Miss Ormerod should be placed her scrupulous honesty of purpose in acknowledging to the fullest extent the work of others.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of pioneering economic entomologist Eleanor Ormerod, the first woman to receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Edinburgh. It details her early life, setting out her interest in natural history and medicine, before providing an overview of her career. The author uses Ormerod's personal correspondence to delve into her tireless work on identifying the causes of damage to crops by insects, and her subsequent advice to farmers on how to prevent and treat such infestations. This work was instrumental in setting agriculture on a more scientific footing and her Annual Reports of Observations of Injurious Insects became essential reading for those in the field. Her expertise was sought by many, including government bodies, fellow entomologists, and farmers, both in the UK and abroad, and she became a respected and trusted figure in the world of pest control.
