From an ancient Indian gathering place to an 1840s trading post to todays dynamic, world-class metropolis, Dallas has always been a destination for men and women with big dreams and the determination to make them real. Its a place known for its outsized fortunes and over-the-top fun. Dallas: A Texas Star celebrates that heritage, and reveals the many fascinating faces of the city. Rich with gorgeous full-color images by world-renowned photographer Carolyn Brown, a longtime Dallas resident, and supplemented by lively essays on many aspects of the city by some of its greatest leaders, Dallas is a lavish feast of words and pictures--and a vivid illustration of what makes Dallas great. Its also a personal tour of the city, with photographs of every must-see attraction and familiar landmark in and around town, as well as off-the-beaten-path sites that may surprise even the savviest Dallasite. Whether youre a visitor to Big D, a lifelong resident, or a recent Texas transplant, Dallas: A Texas Star provides a warm welcome to the city--and a soaring testament to its elegance, diversity, and beauty. Simply put, its the ultimate book on Dallas. CAROLYN BROWNs work is an homage to some of the worlds most beautiful scenery, natural and man-made. She has traveled the world to photograph famous places but has found some of her favorite images in her own backyard. This is her fifth Dallas book.
