Description
The author of Cod and The Basque History of the World takes an extraordinary look at an ordinary substance - salt, the only rock humans eat - and how it has shaped civilization from the very beginning. Mark Kurlansky has produced a kaleidoscope of history, a multi-layered masterpiece that blends economic, scientific, political, religious, and culinary records into a rich and memorable tale.
