“My own experience [with rivers] began as a little boy, with the stream that flowed past our backyard where I grew up in the Appalachian foothills,” Tim Palmer recounts. “And it grew to include the wildest, the most spectacular, and the most vital rivers on the continent—places that are essential for ourselves and for all of life.” 

An outdoor photographer and award-winning author of 17 books about rivers and the environment, Tim Palmer has devoted his career to profiling and preserving rivers. His new book, Rivers of America, takes readers on a spectacular journey across the nation by way of rivers. Full of stunning photos and personal stories, Rivers of America explores why healthy, natural rivers are important to us all.
