Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky

Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky

Salt was the only rock human beings ate, the only reliable way to keep food, and for most of history one of the most valuable commodities on earth. Kurlansky writes world history through it.

Roman soldiers, Venetian sea power, Chinese salt monopolies two thousand years old, the French gabelle that helped bring on a revolution, and Gandhi walking to the sea in 1930 to pick some up. Along the way there are cod, caviar, ketchup, and the invention of the canning industry.

The book that started the fashion for single-subject histories, and still the best of them.
