by Mark Kurlansky
a salty thought(1/7/2010)
Kurlansky's SALT, has kept my attention, and as a foodie I have a new admiration for the stuff and what someone had to go thru to mine this substance--history and today.

Thank you Kurlansky for giving us something to learn and not just car chases. A good read and an excellent economics lesson.(less)
