Colin Tudge
From Freepedia
Colin Tudge (born 22 April 1943) is a biologist by training and a British science writer who is the author of numerous works on food, agriculture, genetics, and species diversity. His publications include Neanderthals, Bandits and Farmers, a small book explaining how agriculture began. The book is one of a series of long essays by respected contemporary Darwinian thinkers, which were published under the collective title Darwinism Today; the series was inspired by a course of 'Darwin Seminars' which took place at the LSE in London in the late 1990s.

He has also published The Famine Business; Last Animals at the Zoo; The Day Before Yesterday; The Impact of the Gene: from Mendel's peas to designer babies; The Second Creation: Dolly and the age of biological control (with Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell) The Variety of Life: a survey and a celebration of all the creatures that have ever lived; So Shall We Reap: how everyone who is liable to be born in the next ten thousand years could eat very well indeed; and why, in practice, our immediate descendants are likely to be in serious trouble, on the future of agriculture, in which he challenges the current science and technology paradigm and outlines a sustainable way of feeding the population of the world, expected to stabilise at ten billion people by the middle of the 21st Century. His latest book is The Secret Life of Trees, to be published by Penguin in November 2005.
