Important: In early 2013, Encante Press updated the cover of Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents. To be guaranteed this beautiful new cover, please buy the book "Shipped and Sold by Amazon." Books sold by any other seller, whether "new" or used, will most likely have the old cover.

Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents follows Marty and Deb Essen on a three-and-a-half-year-long adventure to some of the wildest places on all seven continents.

The American couple began crisscrossing the globe with the simple intention of searching for rare and interesting wildlife. When their travels coincided with the U. S. invasion of Iraq, the added element made them unwitting ambassadors for peace. Their experiences--from amusing to life threatening--changed their lives forever.

This is not your average travelogue. Marty Essen has written a book that entertains, informs, and poignantly reminds us that we all share a small planet.
