From the gleaming façades of Fountain Place and the towering
purple Plaza Tower to the always-intriguing Nasher Sculpture
Center, Dallas teems with unforgettable sights. Photographer
Barry B. Doyle expertly captures the many sides of this
city, making this elaborate guidebook an indispensable tome
for Texans and tourists alike. Doyle divides the book into a series of "scapes," with each
one devoted to a particular theme. He covers the
architectural aspect of the city, including photographs of
the Old Red Courthouse and Victory Plaza at American
Airlines Center arena, which is home to the Dallas Mavericks
and Dallas Stars. Doyle, exploring the art scene, features
an image of the largest equestrian sculpture in the world,
Mustangs of Las Colinas, located in Williams Square. The
energy of the State Fair of Texas, vibrant flora from the
Dallas Arboretum, and exotic animals from the Dallas Zoo are
also included in this magnificent volume. Doyle provides a map to assist readers in locating each of
the more than fifty mentioned sites. Notes, offering fun
facts, and Web site links are resources for additional
information. With stunning photographs, this tourist's
treasure is an exceptional way to discover the city of Dallas.
