Tons of facts weaved in a narrative style that is easy to "digest". Along the way, the reader picks up plenty of interesting "general" historical details. Want to know why some caviar is so much more expensive than others? Did you know that drilling for oil was an accidental byproduct of looking for salt? Hopefully, that is enough to whet your "appetite" for this book. (  )1   lukespapa | Jan 5, 2010 |  maybe i'm not in a good "place" for reading nonfiction right now, i don't know, but this was the longest feeling read i've had in a while. the only reason i finally made it is that i want to get back to fiction asap.it's not that it was too much info about salt, but as with most commodity histories i've read, it just made me depressed about industrialization and environmental degredation. this also struck me as a book by a guy writing about salt but really wanting to be writing about fishing. or maybe that's just because i read cod. (  ) jphilbrick | Dec 3, 2009 | An engaging study on salt and the effect it has had upon human populations throughout history. The book includes discussions on settlements, economics and social and culture habits where slat played a significant role. The book even includes ancient recipes. (  ) npryzbul | Nov 17, 2009 | I remember no mention of the tremendous historical importance of salt in any of my history classes. ( ) ds1 | Oct 2, 2009 | Kurlansky's 'Salt' is really interesting. His book 'Cod' is really, really not. ( ) pilarflores | Sep 29, 2009 |  geen besprekingen | voeg een recensie toe
