Salt and Civilization
S.A.M. Adshead
This book sets out to place the particular histories of salt in a global perspective and write the history of a human commodity as a theme in world history. The author shows how a history of salt cannot be separated from the histories of commerce, medicine, diet, cooking, taxation, invention and war.
