South Beach, at Miami, Florida, has it all: sand, sun, surf, beautiful people, stylish fashions, architecture from the height of American Art Deco to the most modern renderings of steel and glass. The visitor is drawn in a hundred directions at once, trying not to stare, but hoping to take it all in and to hold onto the impressions this place is bound to make. This book captures the sights of the city. The photographer's eye finds the details. Deco colors wash buildings as sun and shadow accentuate their bold designs. Deep blue, cloudless skies rise over the bright beach and sparkling sea, as bathers bask in the sun. Over 100 wonderful color photographs are reminders of the days spent in this fantastic place, taking the reader to the beach, among the trendy shops and hotels, along the tree lined streets with Deco-styled homes. In nearly every direction there is a something to catch the eye. This will be a time capsule of your South Beach experience!

South Beach Perspectives
Not a deep book, and some of the pictures suggested deep stories that were not told, but it was a hoot. Lots of pictures of the parks-that-were. My husband used to be a docent at Point Defiance Zoo, which these days is awesome and does its best to build humane and interesting habitats. The zoo-that-was was more of the concrete slabs and cages variety. That said, in the pictures, the animals look happy enough; the circa 1900 polar bears seem very interested in the visitors reaching through the bars and had at least a bit of a pond.
It was a little bittersweet to see pictures of the Point Defiance pagoda, where I have attended weddings and memorials, in its heyday. I know the powers that be are attempting to restore it to its former glories, but the fire took its toll. There are some great shots of the young men with the Civilian Conservation Core in their bunkhouses. Nice reminder that these parks were part of the larger history of the country.
Not worth the cover price of $20 for me, but definitely worth checking out from the library.
