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

Impressively informative and a lot of fun.
—Midwest Book Review

Endangered Edens primary strength is its many glossy, high-quality photos of wildlife. From alligators to caribou, the visuals in the book are both stunning and informative, bolstered by the author's deep knowledge of butterfly and bird species. In giving factual details about each animal, the book allows the captured image to take on extra life. The book's four long essays, each focusing on a different journey, make the book easy to set aside and pick up again, and the writing style enhances the book's readability.

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

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.
