About the Book

☀️☀️☀️ What did Miami look like when it was still in its infancy-before the glittering skyline, the high-octane nightlife, and the international acclaim? In The Town That Climate Built, Victor Rainbolt gives us a front-row seat to the birth of a city that would one day captivate the world. ☀️☀️☀️ Originally published in 1925, Rainbolt's work is part love letter, part promotional pitch, and part historical record. Writing at a time when Miami was just over two decades old, Rainbolt captures the city's early energy, its cast of pioneering personalities, and the seductive subtropical climate that lured dreamers, developers, and opportunists alike. With vivid prose and boundless enthusiasm, he chronicles the major events and attitudes that helped shape what he proudly calls the "City of Youth." Now, on the 100th anniversary of its publication, this special edition invites readers to not only experience a formative era in South Florida's history, but to reflect on how far the region has come-and what it has lost along the way. A newly penned introduction by environmental author Larry Perez contrasts Rainbolt's vision of boundless growth with the stark environmental challenges Miami faces today in a rapidly warming world. It's a poignant reminder that the climate which once built the city now threatens to transform it forever. Rediscover a forgotten classic and see Miami through the eyes of one of its earliest champions. The Town That Climate Built is more than a historical curiosity-it's a conversation across time about ambition, environment, and the complex legacy of a city shaped by sun, sea, and dreams. Pick up your copy today and take a journey into Miami's past, present, and uncertain future.
