Naturalist Diane Ackerman takes a beguiling look at the complex
world of the bat--one of the most varied and mysterious of animals.
Ackerman describes a visit, with distinguished photographer and bat
expert Merlin Tuttle, to the Big Bend national park area of Texas.
At this location, she observes the nightly emergence of over 20
million bats from Bracken Cave and helps to track them for
study. More than 50 spectacular color photographs enliven this
poetic and informative addition to a child’s natural history shelf.
