### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Wide-ranging
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2024*

A wide-ranging mental feast, full of "who knew?" moments in the history of salt production and uses. A very enjoyable read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    interesting read
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2024*

I had no idea salt was so important back before refrigeration. The book is packed with interesting details about early economic importance of salt. The author often gets sidetracked when discussing the topic, but an interesting read nonetheless.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    brilliant--the book you read and then want to share with everyone
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2012*

That rare history book that takes on the world as it links the United States, Europe, Russia, China, the Middle East, Africa, South America, South Asia, East Asia through the astonishing history of salt. We should not be surprised--as we soon learn, certain salts are essential for human survival and therefore have affected all communities no longer wholly carniverous (the salt from beef, game, pork and poultry provides adequate amounts on its own).I don't know how Kurlansky accomplished all this research--and managed to make it fascinating, magnetic, and provide endless "aha!" moments in every chapter. You never know where the tale will take you next, yet once you arrive it seems so clear and obvious and yet so surprising and revealing.A book for everyone--those who love great stories, great writing, history, literature, cultural studies, science journalism, ecology, geography, political science...the list goes on.One warning--reading this book will make you an annoyance at dinners and cocktail parties because you won't be able to stop talking about this book! Better to make sure your friends and family all secure copies so they don't have suffer under lectures on How The World Really Works.Reading this review over, I realize it sounds as if it was written by a pal, the publisher or the author. Sorry--I just really loved this book and needed to enthuse. Download a free sample to see what I mean.
