Around the World
in 90 Minutes
Comes to the Environmental Learning Center
On Saturday, June 20, award-winning author Marty
Essen presents his high-energy digital slide show, Around
the World in 90 Minutes, at the Environmental
Learning Center in Highland, CA.
Marty’s show features interesting facts, humorous
stories, and the best of thousands of photos he took while traveling
the world for his book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring
the Seven Continents. It's the type of show where the audience
has fun laughing at the stories, oohing and aahing at the photos,
and then, when it's all done, they realize just how much they've
learned.
Around the World in 90 Minutes
began as a show Marty presented in bookstores
as part of his first book tour. Later, after numerous refinements,
the show took on a life of its own in colleges, museums, and nature
centers across the United States. In fact, it has been APCA’s
(a major college activities association) #1 booked lecture for
six months straight.
Highlights of Marty’s show include:
• Amazing animal facts
• Debunking animal myths
• Cuddly wallaroos and spiny walking sticks
• Charging elephants and howling wolves
• Deadly snakes and friendly penguins
• Bizarre creatures and endangered species
• Swimming with piranhas
• Kayaking in the rainforest
• Hiking with the Porcupine caribou migration
• Rafting with humpback whales
• Surviving a hippo attack in Zimba
Marty Essen has won multiple book awards
for travel/essay writing, including the Benjamin Franklin Award, the
Best Books Book Award, and the National Indie Excellence Award. In
addition, he won a first place award at 2009 Green Book Festival in
Los Angeles, and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune named Cool Creatures,
Hot Planet a top-10 “green” book. • Show
