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\u003e\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kurlansky, Mark","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":44204097503522,"sku":"9780099281993","price":16.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47146414604627,"sku":"XV80099281993","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/kurlansky-mark-mark-kurlansky-salt-a-world-history-2003-paperback-58269195632979.jpg?v=1726968002","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.pro\/products\/salt-a-world-history-pb-w2","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
