Bats of the World
Newly published in the U.S. as of March 2026, “Bats of the World: A Guide to Every Family” by Winifred Frick and M. Teague O’Mara offers a richly illustrated profile of every family of the Order Chiroptera.
Through overviews of their general life history, biology, and particular abilities such as echolocation, enhanced with profiles of representative as well as particularly interesting bat species, “The Lives of Bats” offers all interested in these remarkable mammals a very useful way to develop their understanding of them.
Tami Parr’s newly published “Goats in America; A Cultural History” presents the long and multi-faceted relationship of these remarkable animals in America from the beginning of the colonial period right up to the present day.
For those who live in areas that have been without such large animals as lynx, wolves and bears for decades and even centuries, the proposition of them being returned to their former ranges is one fraught with a range of emotions, some positive and others no so much. Dr. Jonny Horton’s “Living with Lynx” explores these as well as the research and arguments behind re-wilding.
