Bats share one major characteristic with sharks: people have many misconceptions about them both. In truth, as Phil Richardson entertainingly reveals, bats can see amazingly well in the dark, under no circumstances will they fly into your hair, and only three tropical species drink blood.
A superb book about these fascinating creatures, managing to be both light, yet detailed and very absorbing. It defies first impressions and reveals itself to be no 'puff' piece.
