Sinossi

"Salt Flat" explores the fascinating world of salt flats, diving into their geological origins, unique ecosystems, and the impact of human activities. These shimmering landscapes form when water evaporates from saline lakes, leaving behind mineral-rich plains. Often perceived as barren, salt flats teem with specially adapted life forms, including extremophiles that thrive in harsh, salty conditions. The book examines how salt flats serve as valuable archives of past climate conditions, providing insights into long-term environmental changes. It also addresses the complex relationship between humans and these environments, from resource extraction to conservation efforts.

 
"Salt Flat" progresses by first establishing the geological and hydrological processes involved in salt flat formation, then moves on to examine the biodiversity of these ecosystems, and concludes with a discussion of human impact. This book uniquely integrates geological, biological, and human perspectives, providing a complete picture of salt flats as dynamic and interconnected systems. By synthesizing geological surveys, hydrological data, and ecological studies, "Salt Flat" offers a comprehensive understanding of these environments and their role in the global environment.

    THE INSTANT #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 
    From award-winning writer Nigel Slater, comes a new and exquisitely written collection of notes, memoir, stories and small moments of joy. 
    'Nigel Slater’s prose is the rarest delicacy of all: exquisite yet effortless, filled with heart, tenderness, yearning and humour' ELIZABETH DAY 
    For years, Nigel Slater has kept notebooks of curiosities and wonderings, penned while at his kitchen table, soaked in a fisherman’s hut in Reykjavik, sitting calmly in a moss garden in Japan or sheltering from a blizzard in a Vienna Konditorei. 
    These are the small moments, events and happenings that gave pleasure before they disappeared. Miso soup for breakfast, packing a suitcase for a trip and watching a butterfly settle on a carpet, hiding in plain sight. He gives short stories of feasts such as a mango eaten in monsoon rain or a dish of restorative macaroni cheese and homes in on the scent of freshly picked sweet peas and the sound of water breathing at night in Japan. 
    This funny and sharply observed collection of the good bits of life, often things that pass many of us by, is utter joy from beginning to end. 
    ‘I loved this. It is a secular book of hours – thoughts and pleasures beautifully cadenced and generously placed’ Edmund de Waal 
    ‘Nigel Slater has a magical capacity to find beauty in the smallest moments. A nourishing, sustaining book’ Olivia Laing 
    ‘His evocative, uplifting observations are a balm for life: a prose-poem for eaters and a spiritual companion for thoughtful cooks. A true and enduring joy’ Nigella Lawson 
    ‘You can’t always feel buoyant and grateful but noticing – and getting pleasure from – the seemingly insignificant is a good way to live. As he says, feel the “small moments of joy”’ Diana Henry 
    Nigel Slater, a top author and best-seller, continues to captivate with his culinary narratives and non-fiction essays. His travelogues, filled with the scent of freshly picked sweet peas and the sound of water breathing at night in Japan, are a testament to his ability to find beauty in the smallest moments. 
    For fans of Samin Nosrat (The Best American Food Writing 2019), Peter Ames Carlin (Tonight in Jungleland), Wendy Macnaughton (Lost Cat), Rick Stein (Under a Mackerel Sky), and Alice Waters (Always Home).

    It takes something really powerful to make you leave Hawai’i (or you know, running out of money).  I found myself called back to England by my heart, but not for long.  It wasn’t yet time to settle, it was time to explore another country I’d once fallen in love with, Croatia and to see if I could find a home, a place to rest and write.I didn’t have any idea quite how much more I had to learn, to understand and this journey was going to show me, above all things, the power of forgiveness.What is forgiveness?  Perhaps it’s like the sunrise and the sunset, something we’ve seen and known for a long time, before there was language to explain it, before there was science to explain it.  Even when we got it wrong, when we believed the sun moved around the earth, (which was an easy assumption to make), the sun rose and set without interruption, without correcting our misguided beliefs.So I think forgiveness exists, it rises and falls, even when we ignore it, just as we all share unconditional love we’re sometimes blind to.  I think we need forgiveness to survive.  Without forgiving ourselves for our mistakes, our missteps, we’d never move forward, we’d just sit down and rot in the road.  Indeed some people do.  And how can we forgive ourselves if we can’t forgive others who have hurt us so much less than we’ve hurt ourselves?Let go, let go, let go, it’s as simple as that and we can forgive even in the midst of the worst abuse, we can use forgiveness to end the cycle of abuse, “abuse begets abuse”, to let go of the need to punish, to be right and, so importantly, the need to keep suffering because of the past.From the Amazon Best Selling author of "Japan Is Very Wonderful," the "Camino de la Luna" series and the Pearl Escapes mini-guides.The third in this series (or fifth including the self help manual "free Feeling Real Emotions Everyday" and prequel "Japan Is Very Wonderful") "Camino de la Luna – Forgiveness" continues the journey.
