"Palmer's prose is as vivid and beautiful as his photographs. Both capture and hold for future generations a little of what we are losing in our shady, magical beech and hemlock groves. This bittersweet celebration and elegy is not to be missed by anyone who loves nature." --Ted Williams,environmental journalist, "Palmer's prose is as vivid and beautiful as his photographs. Both capture and hold for future generations a little of what we are losing in our shady, magical beech and hemlock groves. This bittersweet celebration and elegy is not to be missed by anyone who loves nature." --Ted Williams, environmental journalist, "Tim Palmer's breathtaking photography perfectly captures the magic of Pennsylvania's state tree, whether seen in an ancient grove or meandering along streambanks and waterways in the Commonwealth. His images and prose will inspire us all to work on building resilience in adapting to the impacts of climate change and to do what we can to save these majestic trees." -Cindy Adams Dunn, secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, "Two of America's great trees are being crippled, leaving our forested landscape poised for transformation. The photos in this volume capture the majesty and singular role of the eastern hemlock and American beech in settings across their range, while the insightful text offers the detailed story of their lives and our future loss." -David Foster, director of the Harvard Forest, "The noble beech and the mighty hemlock help define the forest I've spent my life wandering; that they are now facing ruin is one more sadness in the great sadness settling over the planet. One is enormously grateful to the author for capturing their meaning and beauty; we should do all that we can to keep them healthy." -Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature, "Tim Palmer's breathtaking photography perfectly captures the magic of Pennsylvania's state tree, whether seen in an ancient grove or meandering along streambanks and waterways in the Commonwealth.
