About This Item
London: Collins, 2003. First edition, 2003. Hardback. 218pp. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. Bats are the only mammals capable of powered flight, and arguably the most successful and diverse mammals ever to evolve. In Britain, one in three of our native land mammals is a bat. In fact, many species roost unnoticed in our homes, and some are now almost entirely dependent on man-made structure for their survival. This book considers the natural history of bats, from their origins and evolution to their behaviour, feeding habits and reproduction. The author discusses the threats to the survival of bats, how we are working to conserve them, and how to watch and study bats in the wild. This is a comprehensive account of the natural history of these fascinating animals. 8 colour plates and over 120 black & white photographs & line drawings. Jacket design by Robert Gillmor. Book as new and unread. Jacket fine and unclipped.
