Tim Palmer is the award-winning author of 31 books on rivers, conservation, and the environment. He is also an accomplished photographer with one of the most complete collections of photos of rivers in the United States. Tim was an environmental planner in 1972 when Hurricane Agnes hit the East Coast, experiencing the drastic impact firsthand. Thus began Tim's lifelong work, staying increasingly active in flooding and floodplain management issues nationwide as a land-use planner, and river conservation advocate, on top of his publication works. Tim observes: “Tomorrow will bring greater floods whether we plan for them or not. It’s our choice to live vulnerably in their path or to seek higher ground.” Tim's newest book is "Seek Higher Ground: The Natural Solution to Our Urgent Flooding Crisis", which offers a very readable account of historical flooding, rivers, dams, and what we need to do for the future.
