  History of Miamia Beach The first South Floridians were the Tequesta Indians, who discovered the area more than 10,000 years ago 
                                            and had it all to themselves until the Spanish claimed it in the 16th Century. In 1821, the Spanish flag was 
                                            lowered and the Stars and Stripes raised over Florida. Enterprising wreckers from the Bahamas came to 
                                            South Florida and the Keys in the early 19th Century, to hunt for the remains of an international array of ill-faded ships that crashed onto the treacherous great Florida reef.

  Miami Beach Culture Calendar 
 
  South Beach Style -  Bernard Zyscovich (Foreword), Laura Cerwinske, Steven Brooke (Photographer) Miami's South Beach, an international playground and urban neighbourhood in one, is known throughout the 
                                            world for its dazzling style. Casual, colourful and sensuous, it draws artists, writers and world travellers. 
                                            This compact volume is a panorama of South Beach architecture and interior and garden design. There are 
                                            houses, penthouses, clubs, shops, museums, bay-front gardens and courtyard landscapes. The senses of style range from resort glamour to the urban edge, and from the sublimely modern to the ridiculously 
                                            hedonistic. Laura Cerwinske describes the architectural history of the island, the creation of the "tropical 
                                            deco" style and the cultural evolution of South Beach, while South Beach architect Bernard Zyscovich explores "sustainable hedonism", the local formula for urban vitality.

  Cuban-American Art in Miami: Exile, Identity and the Neo-Baroque -  Lynette M.F. Bosch Cuban-American Art in Miami analyses the impact of Cuban exiles on Miami's cultural explosion, from 1959 to 
                                            the present day. It is the first book to create a historical record of the circumstances, artists, venues and 
                                            people who made Miami the important artistic centre that it is today, and a key place for artistic exchange 
                                            between the US, Latin America, the Caribbean and Western Europe. The book considers how the Cuban-American artists' experience of exile and search for identity have created a particular strand within 
                                            contemporary art, which draws on the Latin American Neo-Baroque movement as well as international Modernism and Postmodernism. The artists featured prominently in this book are the leading Cuban-American 
                                            artists active in the US today: Arturo Rodriguez, Emilio Falero, Maria Brito, Demi, Baruj Salinas, Mario Bencomo, 
                                            Rafael Soriano, Alberto Rey and Enrique Gay Garcia. Based on primary-source information, such as oral 
                                            interviews, exhibition catalogues and reviews, and featuring 90 colour illustrations of some of the key works, 
                                            Cuban-American Art in Miami is essential reading for collectors, dealers, curators, and all those with an interest in Latin-American culture.
