Synopsis:

Features 132 full-color photographs capturing the flamboyant and elegant Art Deco architecture of Miami's South Beach, as well as the resort's exotic, Dionysian nightlife. The 35,000-word text also details the origin and evolution of the neighborhood's signature Tropical Deco style, the history of town including the behind-the-scenes reality of the sometimes cut-throat nightlife industry and the battle of the historic preservationists who saved South Beach from the wrecking ball, plus the urban planning secrets of the neighborhood's enduring success as a real estate venture and an architectural wonderland.
