There are very few books written about bats, let alone one as informative and easy to read as this one. Neuweiler delivers an exceptional reference book for professionals, students, and anyone who wishes to learn more about these fascinating flying mammals. If you are looking for pretty pictures, this is not the book to buy. If you want a comprehensive presentation about bats, then this is a book that should find its way into your library.

This book is an excellent introduction to Bats. Also, as far as books on the biology of Bats go this is a very well priced book a good value.

For anyone interested in Bats or for those requiring further reading regarding Bats I recommend visiting this site www.batconservation.org/ They mention a number of books which can be bought through http://www.amazon.com

This book's writing is based on data from the end of the previous century (late 1800's into around 1920). Crummy pictures and drawings..all black n white. Just because they have recently reprinted a book, doesnt mean it is a recently written book by recent researchers or photography. But if you like to read ancient old data, this is the book for you.

While much of this book is based on older studies, a lot of the information is still very relevant. The physiological information is very useful and well explained. This is a favorite reference of mine, especially when giving presentations on bats in general to an audience with some background in animal physiology. It is very comprehensive. The pictures are not in color, but that doesn't render them less useful. I believe the result is simply a more affordable book. This is a high quality reference.
