Bats have long been the focus of fascination, and sometimes fear:
they move faultlessly through the darkness and spend the day
hanging upside down in gloomy caverns and cracks – most at home
where humans are least comfortable. Bats also represent a hugely
important, numerous and varied group, accounting for 20% of all
mammal species worldwide. Covering their biodiversity, ecology and
natural history, A Miscellany of Bats offers a hoard of insights
into the lives of these creatures. For over a quarter of a century
Brock Fenton and the late Jens Rydell collaborated on projects
involving bats. Here they bring together a collection of stories
and anecdotes about bat research, brought to life by stunning
photographs of these animals in action. Key topics include flight
and echolocation, diet and roosting habits, and the complex social
lives of bats. Jens and Brock also address issues of conservation
and the interactions between bats and people, ranging from matters
of disease to bats’ role as symbols, and our fixation with
vampire bats. They explore how echolocation and flight shape
batkind, from their appearance to where they go and why. Overall,
this book is an entertaining and personal vision of bats’ central
place in the universe. More than 150 species are covered.
