PVCC Students to Travel Around the World in 90 Minutes
Charlottesville Va. - Marty Essen, author of the award-winning book Cool Creatures, Hot Planet: Exploring the Seven Continents, will speak on his travels Wednesday, Nov. 11, from 12:10-1:20 p.m. in the Bolick Student Center at Piedmont Virginia Community College. Sponsored by PVCC's Office of Student Activities, this event is free and open to the public.
While traveling the world in search of rare and interesting wildlife, Essen was stung by one of the world's most venomous insects, bitten by a poisonous snake, surrounded by wolves, attacked by a hippo-and had the time of his life.
Filled with stunning photos, little-known facts and humorous stories, "Around the World in 90 Minutes" is both entertaining and educational.
