Plato described it as especially dear to the gods. As Mark Kurlansky so brilliantly relates here, salt has shaped civilisation from the beginning, and its story is a glittering, often surprising part of the history of mankind. Wars have been fought over salt and, while salt taxes secured empires across Europe and Asia, they have also inspired revolution - Gandhi's salt march in 1930 began the overthrow of British rule in India.\u003cbr\u003eFrom the rural Sichuan province where the last home-made soya sauce is produced to the Cheshire brine springs that supplied salt around the globe, Mark Kurlansky has produced a kaleidoscope of world history, a multi-layered masterpiece that blends political, commercial, scientific, religious and culinary records into a rich and memorable tale.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pearls Books n Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67556511547583,"sku":"4561","price":13.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0563\/5552\/0703\/files\/9780099281993.jpg?v=1791243531","url":"https:\/\/pearlsbooksfnq.com\/products\/4561","provider":"Pearls Books n Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
