Özet

An extraordinary look at an ordinary substance—and one we'd be dead without: salt.

Salt has shaped civilization from the very beginning, and the story of this common household seasoning proves a fascinating one. In a kaleidoscope of history, Mark Kurlansky—bestselling author of  1968 and Cod—blends economic, scientific political, religious, and culinary elements to produce this tasty account of salt, the only rock we humans eat. Populated by colorful characters and filled with fascinating details,  Salt is a supremely spicy, multi-layered masterpiece.

Absolutely loved this book. Filled with fascinating world history all because of salt! Easy voice to listen to. I couldn’t put it down.

Fascinating

I think this is a bonkers book! It covers salt in ways you could not expect. Its a book for the curious. Its all over the place geographically, chemically, commercially etc etc. Brilliant to read in small doses - the classic Necessary Room reader!!

All over the place, but in a good way

The history of salt is indeed fascinating, but this book is a bit sluggish and at times feels more like an audio version of a cooking book than a history lesson. I don't mind that it is a bit repetitive, but sometimes the author gets so lost on one of his sidetracks that he forgets to give you any key takeaways.

Don't believe the hype

Ok, its a book about the white stuff you get in packets in restaurants, so what?
This is quite honestly one of the best history books I have listened to, because it deals with a subject that nobody would think is either interesting or important but it truly is a revelation.
I have no hesitation to recommend this audio book as it shows how a simple thing like sodium chloride has shaped the history and geography of the world.

A great book.
