Autor

Ted Benton is a sociology professor emeritus, whose academic work over more than 40 years has included development of critical realist philosophy as a basis for social science methodology, work on the sociology of power and pioneering work towards the non-reductive integration of life-science and especially ecological insights into social theory. His previous books include the New Naturalist volumes Bumblebees (2006) and Grasshoppers & Crickets (2012). Nick Owens did a doctorate on the social behaviour of baboons in Tanzania, based at Cambridge, and researched the ecology of Brent Geese with the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology before embarking on a career as a biology teacher at Oundle School. A long-term fascination with bumblebees led to field trips with Ted Benton, which evolved into a common interest in solitary bees. Nick's previous publications include Bumblebees of Norfolk (2012) and The Bumblebee Book (2020).
