Editorial Reviews: (From the back)~ Miami Beach always has been for dreamers. Early in the twentieth century, farsighted men and women saw through the mangroves and sand and envisioned a great "pleasure resort" on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. From the time of the first hotel being built until Miami Beach became known as "America's Playground," was just a decade. This is the remarkable story of dreamers who had their dreams realized in the form of the great concentration of hotels that is Miami Beach. It is the story of meteoric success and painful failure, the story of gritty and determined visionaries who looked at buildings that were seen as old and saw a potential of newness in them. This also is the story of public servant and corporations who, despite hard times, found a need for eath other to bring about a newer avant garde Miami Beach.
