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.

Any additional comments?
This is an engaging, entertaining, and informative history of salt. I've found I like this genre -- a kind of societal history of some everyday thing -- much along the lines of something you might see from Bill Bryson. If you think you might be into that, this is for you.As for the vocal performance ... you only need to know it's Scott Brick. Scott Brick is 5 stars and 5 stars is Scott Brick, and that's the way it is until Audible lets me hand out more than 5 stars.
