具体描述
Homer called it a divine substance. Plato described it as especially dear to the gods. As Mark Kurlansky so brilliantly relates here, salt has shaped civilization from the beginning, and its story is a glittering often surprising part of the history of mankind. So valuable that it has often served as currency and still does in places today, salt inspired the earliest trade routes across unknown oceans and the remotest deserts. 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. From the rural Sichuan province where the last home-made soya sauce is made to the Cheshire brine springs that supplied salt around the globe, Mark Kurlansky has produced a kaleidoscope of world history, a multilayered masterpiece that blends political, commercial, scientific, religious and culinary records into a rich and memorable tale.
作者简介

评分1.一旦发生战争，中国各代封建王朝都会垄断盐来集聚财富。 2.罗马帝国也是通过操纵盐的价格来获得军费。每扩张一处，首先占领盐场。 3.禁欲者不吃盐，因为盐文化认为，盐会产生性欲。 4.威尼斯的崛起就是靠买卖盐的。整个国家的经济命脉就在盐上。 5.唐末起义的黄巢，元末起义...
