Peter Moruzzi - Greetings from Los Angeles Hardcover, 176 pages, Gibbs Smith (gibbs-smith.com) Travels to the most remote corners of the world are the basis for the artistry of wildlife and landscape photographer Michael Poliza, who has published nearly a dozen books, in addition to leading high-end nature adventure treks. For his latest tome, he chose to focus his lens on Mallorca, a place of legendary beauty.

Using the same hilarious, irreverent, and heartfelt style as her online musings, the overarching theme of DeRuiter's book is that sometimes you can find yourself exactly where you need to be–even if you aren't quite sure where you are.
