For anyone who needs details of bats, this book highlights some of the 900 species. Colour photographs complement the text which concludes with a look at man’s perception of bats through the ages, in art, folklore, religion and popular imagination. The book gives insights into: anatomy; bat senses; why bats roost; real vampire bats; bat culture; diet and feeding; habitats; bat society; and bat conservation.

Review: This is one of my favorite bat books of all time. It’s packed full of beautiful photographs, illustrations and scientific knowledge. Although the content is primarily written and not pictures, the text is a sparkling assortment of wonderful little facts, so it makes a great coffee table book.
