Salt

El libro intenta hacer una historia paralela, contandonos la evolución del uso y comercio de la sal, y el impacto de éste en la economía global del periodo. Interesante, merece la pena echarle un rato

This was a great book that led me down a wormhole of food history books.

This book is like a very long article on salt. The history is overwhelming. I've been looking for a reference book like that and I don't know how I missed it. Arrived on time. I enjoy reading it. It's a book for general readers, don't have to be an academic to understand.

You want to read about salt? Wrong book. You want to read about how salt affected civilisations? You've come to the right place. A great in-depth read and analysis of human civilisation; empires grew and empires declined because of salt.

Salt! There is a history of salt. I mean why wouldn’t there be, right? What a great read, with style, compassion, and a contagious interest and passion for the subject, if not those along the way. 100% recommend.
