As someone who loves bats (but also other animals), I find this book gives the reader a good, a very good insight into the different species of bats, their history and how unique echolocating is. I am amazed of all the knowledge being broken down into a mostly understandable phrasing, so that even I can get it - the different types, the way some bat families developed this kind of way to use echolocation in a different way than another. It is an incredible book which really conveys the love for this animal. I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves them and who wants to know more.

This is a very informative book that crushes a lot of the popular myths about bats, a very misunderstood species. Definitely give this one a read!

I very much appreciate this Non-Fiction narrative and its author for demystifying the nature and existence of Bats, and clarifying all that Science has discovered about these various much-maligned species. I hope to purchase this title to study it further, as there's much to be learned here, and knowledge is so often the key to understanding and mitigating fear of the unknown. Culturally bats are feared and despised, perhaps often unreasonably. (Bram Stoker's DRACULA certainly didn't help.) Author Alyson Brokaw's strong enthusiasm shines through and makes me want to study further.
