Salt World History by Kurlansky Mark, First Edition (5 results)

Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Salt is common, easy to obtain and inexpensive. It is the stuff of kitchens and cooking. Yet trade routes were established, alliances built and empires secured all for something that filled the oceans, bubbled up from springs, formed crusts in lake beds, and thickly veined a large part of the Earth s rock fairly close to the surface. From pre-history until just a century ago when the mysteries of salt were revealed by modern chemistry and geology no one knew that salt was virtually everywhere. Accordingly, it was one of the most sought-after commodities in human history. Even today, salt is a major industry. Canada, Kurlansky tells us, is the world s sixth largest salt producer, with salt works in Ontario playing a major role in satisfying the Americans insatiable demand.
