Endangered Edens by
Marty Essen.
The tactile and visual presentation alone of his new book with its
180 stunning color photographs is a treat indeed.
Dr. M. Sanjayan, Senior
Scientist at Conservation International, describes it as:
“A magical, fun journey
through some of the world’s hidden and not so hidden Edens…”
Having read Marty’s first book,
“Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven
Continents”
another amazing journey into the leaf litter world of the tiniest—and often
deadly—creatures), I was already familiar with Marty’s fluid and humorous writing;
and he lived up to my expectations.
Of course, from this new title, I knew he would also rattle my lethargic cage (as he fully intends, always without being preachy) as to what travesties Man keeps inflicting on this precious Earth of ours.

While
Marty and Deb Essen possess the courage and conviction “to do something,” they allowed
me (a mere armchair traveler these days) to journey with them from the Arctic to Costa Rica,
the Everglades, and Puerto Rico.
It reawakened a sense of wonder for our world
in me, as well as a sense of renewed responsibility to leave a smaller
footprint.
Thank
you, Marty Essen, for your beautiful second book.
