Autor: Marty Essen

Marty Essen began writing professionally in the 1990s, as a features writer for Gig Magazine. His first book, Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, won six national awards, and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune named it a „Top Ten Green Book.“ His second book, Endangered Edens: Exploring the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica, the Everglades, and Puerto Rico, won four national awards. Marty is also a popular college speaker. He has performed the stage-show version of Cool Creatures, Hot Planet on hundreds of campuses, in forty-five states. Marty“s latest book, Time Is Irreverent, is a science-fiction political-comedy. The switch in genres doesn“t mean a switch in ideals. Like all of Marty“s books, it reflects his values of protecting human rights and the environment-and does so with a wry sense of humor.
