Its a wonderful guide, with a glossary, diagrams of skeletons, key, and great photos. I'd have given it 5 stars except that its dated. Perhaps there's a more recent edition than mine, which was written before the massive die-offs of bats from a fungus that is still out of control and spreading. As Tuttle explains, the bats keep many of our night flying insects under control as they eat their weight in mosquitoes. So, its a great introduction, but needs supplementing with the new information. I've been out with bat experts when they were catching them in the desert -- what a great way to spend a cool evening. ( ) I may be weird, but I've always thought bats were kinda cute. Not "ooh, I want one" cute, but they have big round eyes and soft fur and they squeak. So this is a good book for seeing the various bats that live in America (we definitely have them in Phoenix), finding out how they live and dispelling myths that make people so terrified of them. There are even instructions for how to build a "bat house" to draw them. The author is an authority and a founder of a bat conservation foundation, so the information is pretty thorough and interesting. If you aren't freaked out by bats. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
A guide to these frequently misunderstood animals that dispels unnecessary fears and encourages an appreciation of bats and their conservation needs. Since its publication in 1988, America's Neighborhood Bats has changed the way we look at bats by underscoring their harmless and beneficial nature. In this revised edition, Merlin Tuttle offers bat aficionados the most up-to-date bat facts, including a wealth of new information on attracting bats and building bat houses and a revamped key to the identification of common North American species. The easy-to-understand text, clear illustrations, and spectacular color photographs make this the perfect bat book for the general reader, as well as an invaluable resource for professionals who field questions from the public. Those who provide advice at health and animal control departments, museums, zoos, and nature centers will find it especially useful. No library descriptions found. |
