Ecology and Conservation of Bats in Villages and Towns
by J Smit-Viergutz, M Simon & S Hüttenbügel
This was published by the German agency for nature conservation in 2004. Central Germany is very special because there’s a university with much batty-interest in an area with lots of bats, and they have sent many PhD students out looking at them. Over about ten years it’s built up into a tremendously detailed study which is what you need to try to understand them. This book assembles some of these studies. As you delve into their lives you see how complex they are, and this book tries to unravel the complexities.

The best books on Bats, recommended by Phil Richardson
Bats are remarkably like us in many ways — social animals with complex lives, who put a lot of energy into rearing their young. They also make up around one-fifth of the world’s mammal species. Phil Richardson, co-founder of the UK’s Bat Conservation Trust, recommends five books to learn more about bats around the world.
