"Batty: When it comes to our notions about bats, we humans always have been, and continue to be, distinctly that....In short, our odd beliefs and improbable superstitions about bats are legion. Perhaps that's because bats themselves are no less odd and improbable. We are, after all, talking about a mammal that spends most of its life hanging upside down in dark places and that soars through the night on leathery wings hunting for prey by listening to the echoes of its own screams. The facts about bats, it seems, are every bit as fantastic as the fiction." (MOTHER EARTH NEWS) The author presents information about North American bats, including superstitions about these creatures, their diversity, as well as "their value to our planet."
