Description:
In this fascinating science book, a behavioural and bat ecologist reintroduces readers to bats, redeeming their historically bad reputation.
These woefully misunderstood creatures dwell in darkness, inspire fear, and threaten danger. They’ve been viewed as the pawns of evil deities and taken the undeserved blame for the spread of deadly viruses. This book provides a fresh introduction to these curious flying mammals, explaining how they experience the world through unique senses, where and how they fly, the origins of their complex relationships with humans, and how we can learn from them - not only to coexist, but potentially grow healthier and wiser together.
Over 180 personality-filled photographs showcase the rich diversity of bats from all over the world.
