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 time: Saturday, June 20, at 2:00 p.m.
• Place: The Environmental Learning Center, 7863 Central Avenue, Highland, CA
