Did you know that the little white grains that sit in your salt
cellar have an amazing story to tell? The simple condiment has
caused wars to break out, empires to be conquered and black markets
to flourish. This book describes the journey salt has taken, from
prehistoric religious offerings to a staple seasoning. Other topics
covered are the health aspects of salt, how it is produced, its
chemical properties and how it is traded around the world. With
bright illustrations and amazing photographs, this is an ideal
leisure read, but also perfect for coursework and presentations for
key stage 2 readers.
