In May, 2011, a trip to Florida offered an opportunity to explore Miami for just a few hours. Peter Muller, Professor of Geography at the University of Miami, kindly showed us around. Images of the city provide visual clues to the dramatic transformations analyzed in Tom Boswell (1991) "South Florida: Winds of Change." (Washington, DC: Association of American Geographers), and Alejandro Portes (1993). "City on the Edge: The Transformation of Miami." (Berkeley: University of California Press).
