The Weird and Wonderful World of Bats

Demystifying These Often-Misunderstood Creatures
Alyson Brokaw brings the wit and science wisdom of her popular TikTok account (@alyb_batgirl) to this lively and fascinating investigation of a unique and misunderstood creature-the bat.

Bats have an undeserved bad reputation. It's time to clear the air-with science.

These woefully misunderstood creatures dwell in darkness, inspire fear, and threaten danger. They've been viewed as the pawns of evil deities and taken the undeserved blame for the spread of deadly viruses. In The Weird and Wonderful World of Bats, behavioral and bat ecologist Alyson Brokaw provides a fresh introduction to these curious flying mammals, diving in-depth into how they experience the world through unique senses, where and how they fly, the origins of their complex relationships with humans, and how we can learn from them-not only to coexist but potentially grow healthier and wiser together. Over 180 personality-filled photographs showcase the rich diversity of bats from all over the world.
