'Kurlansky finds the world in a grain of salt.' New York Times Book Review
An unlikely world history from the bestselling author of Milk! and Cod
You'll never look at salt the same way again. The only rock we eat, salt has shaped civilization from the very beginning, and its story is a glittering, often surprising part of the history of humankind. A substance so valuable it served as currency, salt has influenced the establishment of trade routes and cities, provoked and financed wars, secured empires, and inspired revolutions.
Populated by colourful characters and filled with an unending series of fascinating details, Salt is a supremely entertaining, multi-layered masterpiece.
