The Genius Bat: The Secret Life of the Only Flying Mammal by Yossi YovelMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was provided an ALC and ARC of this book via Netgalley and the publisher, all opinions are my own.
I had no idea there were so many different types of bats. While not a bat enthusiast myself, this was such a well crafted and detailed book about the creatures, their habits, habitats, and interactions. The author is clearly passionate about their work and research and that shows through in the book. I enjoyed learning about the various types of bats and how they are all very different. I especially enjoyed learning about echolocation
At no point did I feel that the subject matter was too hard to understand or too academic. I felt it was very well written to explain the science behind the research and any one could pick this up and learn about bats without needing a high level of understanding in science. The author did a great job keeping the science content readable and interesting which I find is not always the case with non-fiction.
If you are interested in bats, or a very well written non-fiction about a topic you know nothing about this is a good one the pick up. I certainly learned quite a bit of new information. The audio is very well narrated.
