Hello: I am pleased to share with you the publication of my book Traces of salt.

Traces of salt explores the presence of Las Salinas del Peñon Blanco (salt works) in the plateau of San Luis Potosi and Zacatecas (Mexico), while aware of the importance that it had the salt industry in north central Mexico and its relationship with mining, through a broad portfolio photo and a story that, in general, explains the evolution of the salt company, whose activities have been developed since the sixteenth century until the end of the twentieth century. This testimony supports the visual assessment of the historical, cultural and landscape, which together account for the traces left by the exploitation of salt and geographical environment in which it took place.
