A quaint yet daunting human history
One can easily overstate the role of salt in human life but never as the author beautifully explains can one underestimate salt's role in human history may human enterprise. Salt has unified human civilizations for the 10000 years on this planet across the western, Indian, Jewish and Chinese civilizations. A must listen especially in the later chapters that travel outside ancient and medieval Europe.
