中文简介：

无机盐是有机生命的重要组成部分。但是，尽管海盐提取的场景是人类最古老的工业景观之一，我们却很少问盐从哪里来，如何生产。海盐生产地遍布世界各地，通常位于浅海岸线附近。汤姆·哈根（Tom Hegen）从空中探索了这些神奇的景观，并在此过程中获得了壮观的图像。这本图文并茂的书展示了因采盐而形成的景观，揭示了采盐过程是如何创造出如画般的抽象结构。这是对色彩和几何的研究，是对日常之美的颂歌。

英文简介：

Salt's ionic lattices are one of the central elements of organic life. But even though the extraction of sea salt is one of the oldest forms of human landscaping, we rarely ask where salt comes from and how it is produced. Sea salt production sites are found all over the world, usually located around shallow shorelines. Tom Hegen has explored these magical landscapes from the air and obtained spectacular images in the process. This gorgeously illustrated book shows how the landscape has been shaped by salt mining and how the mining process has created structures that take on an almost painterly, abstract quality in Hegen's photographs. Salt Works is a study of color and geometry, an ode to beauty of the everyday.
