How can bats flying blindly detect 1/100 inch wires from several feet away, dodge stalactites in pitch-dark caves, catch insects on the wing or fish in motion just below the surface of the water, and find their way back to their home roost? In this remarkable book, a pioneering scientist in the areas of neurobiology and behavior explains in layperson's language just how bats can ?see? with their ears.

Donald paints a great picture of the history of scientists trying to figure out how bats see in the dark. Many of the questions posed in this book are answered now, but there is still a great deal to learn by reading this book.
I find that his passion for his work results in rambling at several occasions, and I wouldn't feel bad if you skip over a few paragraphs now and then. At one point, he complained that engineers were too caught up in making colour televisions to care about his science!
Overall, a beautiful book that I would recommend to anybody interested in bats and science in the 1950s. ( )
