It is easy to get lost in the images of sunbeams shinning through a green canopy, or admiring the massive root structures of the trees. Tim Palmer, the author and photographer of "Rivers of America", continues to capture the beauty of the American landscape in "Trees and Forests of America". In this stunning collection - from sheltering oaks near the edge of the Atlantic to towering redwoods along the Pacific coast - Palmer photographs these majestic organisms while highlighting their important ecological roles. This lavishly photographed book will inspire people everywhere to more fully appreciate the value of woodlands and forests.
