SUMMARY

"It is Kurlansky's neat trick to be both encyclopedic and diverting, to leave no grain unturned as he ties one intriguing particular to another, through time and space, keeping the reader's attention: the story of a Cellini salt cellar, Moors in sky-blue robes moving caravans of salt to Timbuktu, Gandhi starting a revolution with a pinch of salt, the pecking order of salt qualities, why some salts have color, why when it rains Morton's still pours."Mark Kurlansky is the author of 'Salt: A World History', published 2006 under ISBN 9781597770972 and ISBN 1597770973.
