The result is a book that is both visually stunning and thought-provoking. Hartnett's photographs offer a new way of seeing the post-industrial landscape, revealing the beauty and wonder that can be found in even the most unexpected places. His essays and those of his fellow contributors provide a deeper understanding of the history and significance of these spaces, and explore the ways in which they can inspire us to think about our own relationship to the environment.

A Journey Through the Post-Industrial Landscape

Hartnett's journey through the post-industrial landscape begins in the American Rust Belt, where he explores the abandoned factories and warehouses that once housed the nation's manufacturing industry. These structures, now empty and decaying, are a testament to the economic and social changes that have swept the country in recent decades. But Hartnett also finds beauty in these ruins, seeing them as symbols of resilience and adaptability.

From the Rust Belt, Hartnett travels to other parts of the world, exploring post-industrial landscapes in Europe, Asia, and South America. He visits abandoned mines, power plants, and military installations, each with its own unique story to tell. Along the way, he meets people who have made their homes in these forgotten spaces, and who have found ways to repurpose and reuse these structures.

Hartnett's journey is not just a physical one, but also a journey of discovery. As he explores the post-industrial landscape, he learns more about the history of these spaces, the people who worked in them, and the impact they have had on our world. He also comes to a new appreciation for the beauty and wonder that can be found in even the most unexpected places.

Rediscovering Beauty and Wonder

In The Field Guide to the Post-Industrial Landscape, Hartnett invites readers to rediscover the beauty and wonder that can be found in our altered world. He shows us that even in the most seemingly desolate places, there is always something to be discovered. By opening our eyes to the beauty of the post-industrial landscape, Hartnett challenges us to think about our own relationship to the environment and to imagine new possibilities for these forgotten spaces.

The Field Guide to the Post-Industrial Landscape is a must-read for anyone interested in photography, urban exploration, or the history and significance of our built environment.
