Batsin a world of echoes /[electronic resource] :by Johan Eklof, Jens Rydell. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2017. - viii, 168 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Evolution and diversity -- Flight and morphology -- Senses -- Hunting and Feeding -- Arms Race -- Reproduction -- Hibernation and migration -- Roosts -- Living Together -- Under cover of darkness -- Of bats and men.

This comprehensive book about the lives of bats is about a group of peculiar, mythical and fascinating animals. They are mammals, just like us, but still so different. The book covers bats from Latin American Maya temples to Swedish potato cellars; from the plains of Kenya to the Taiwanese mountains. We perceive their shadows flitting by in the summer nights, hear their mating calls in the darkness of autumn and see their silhouettes in the dim street light. The bats live in our houses and forage in our gardens and parks. But who are they and how do they lead their lives? The text and exquisite photos give an unsurpassed insight into the world of sounds and smells that bats encounter each night. We are told about how their senses, way beyond our human perception abilities, shape their lives. We get to know more about their habits, their long evolution and their cohabitation with humans, and how important they are to the environment. You will never again feel lonely in the darkness of the night.
