Salt question

Salt: A World History, by Mark Kurlansky, is a great read!

That, and his other great work, Cod. Cod: A Biography of the Fish that Changed the World

If you want to understand why the world's population lived on an equivalent of $3 oer day for virtually all of human history until the UK invented the modern economy, read Deirdre McCloskey, Bourgeoise Dignity.

Loved Salt, really fascinating. I'll have to read the one about cod.

hi i am new

loved both salt and cod .spent a lot of time looking at pictures of Salt caves and sculptures. Love how the internet can enhance the reading experience with so much imagery now

The salt was the first book I've read from Kurlansky and I loved it. Then I finished the Cod within few days and I noticed how good writer Kurlansky is. So I suddenly ordered the Oyster book but it was so boring, I could hardly go through it.

There is no such thing as an unbiased work. That's why it's important to read multiple sources on a particular subject.
