Walker’s Bats of the World

by R M Nowak

A very good insight into all of the world’s bats. It tells us what they look like, provides numerous photographs and drawings, and a general text on their ways of life with a simple thumbnail sketch. One trouble with bats is the lack of depth of knowledge we yet have of most species. As we speak some taxonomist is splitting one bat species into two species, and other bat species, of course, is becoming extinct, so species numbers are always changing.
