Salt: A World History Mark Kurlansky
Publisher:

Mark Kurlansky, the bestselling author of Cod and The Basque History of the World, here turns his attention to a common household item with a long and intriguing history: salt. As a person who lives to eat, I found it fascinating. It has occasional moments of interest. Few materials have undergone a transformation as dramatic as salt's. "Transportasi selalu jadi kunci utama dalam bisnis garam," tulis Mark Kurlansky dalam bukunya Salt: A World History, seperti dilansir Sabtu (25/5). For thousands of years, it was a precious commodity and a vital nutrient. Honestly, Salt: A World History isn't a bad book. This book was recommended by a dear friend who knows how deeply Gemini I am: quite practical, technical, and yet irredeemably liberal arts at the same time. Now that you've got the 411 on the history of sugar, I thought I'd introduce you to the history of salt. The age of discovery by the pepper you put in a pepper grinder is the main focus of Shaffer's book, which is being marketed as something of a companion piece to Mark Kurlansky's popular 2002 work Salt: A World History. Mark Kurlanskys book is a fun read for those who love history and food. Scientifically speaking, table salt is simply sodium + chloride. But historically, salt has had a major impact on human culture and society. In Kurlanksy's defense, it is a very thorough book. At times it was even used as currency.
