Matt’s book projects have given him the freedom to write more in-depth about subjects he first explored in magazine articles. Not only have these books offered the opportunity to more fully develop themes about environment and culture, they have also allowed Matt to collaborate with photographers and create works that show the combined power of insightful writing and compelling images to tell stories. His latest book project is on Palm Springs and its rapid emergence from a desert frontier settlement to an international resort and center for Modernist architecture in just 30 years.
