Reviews:

“I highly recommend that everyone join author Marty Essen and his wife, Deb, as they explore our planets’ Endangered Edens. After reading about these last great wild places, you will surely be tempted to visit them and more importantly protect them for future generations to enjoy.”
– Cindy Shogan, Executive Director, Alaska Wilderness League

“A magical, fun journey through some of the world’s hidden and not so hidden Edens, as seen through the eyes of a true wildlife aficionado and author whose writing makes the pages come alive and vibrate with the sound and pulse of nature. A book that once started is impossible to put down.”
– Dr. M. Sanjayan, Senior Scientist at Conservation International and host of the PBS television series EARTH: A New Wild

“Marty Essen’s explorations of exotic and remote places gave me the feeling of traveling with him, sensing his measure of the wondrous natural world. His strident call for the preservation of Alaska’s wilderness is timely, deserving the response of the American people.”
– Stewart Brandborg, retired Executive Director of The Wilderness Society, and a prominent voice behind the creation of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in 1960.
