BATS, The. Ransome, Roger. London, Christopher Helm Mammal
Series, octavo hardcover, 235 pages, illustrated. There
are, we are told, 950 species of bats in the world. An
exhaustive study of these fascinating creatures that from
time to time manage to upset various people with their
'wayward' ways. The book focuses on the hibernating bats
of the temperate zone - their biology, ecology, and much
more. Someone has neatly removed the page with publishing
information (I assume they had their name there). All else
is good and this is otherwise a very good copy with a very
good dust-jacket - a nice copy in fact, with excellent
blue cloth and gilt spine lettering. ISBN 0747028026.
