About this listen
The author of Cod and The Basque History of the World takes an extraordinary look at an ordinary substance — salt, the only rock humans eat — and how it has shaped civilization from the very beginning. Mark Kurlansky has produced a kaleidoscope of history, a multi-layered masterpiece that blends economic, scientific, political, religious, and culinary records into a rich and memorable tale.

A quaint yet daunting human history
One can easily overstate the role of salt in human life but never as the author beautifully explains can one underestimate salt's role in human history may human enterprise. Salt has unified human civilizations for the 10000 years on this planet across the western, Indian, Jewish and Chinese civilizations. A must listen especially in the later chapters that travel outside ancient and medieval Europe.
