NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | THE BOOK BEHIND THE VIRAL TIKTOK One tiny rock. One epic history. "A must-have for any serious cook or foodie."—Anthony Bourdain "This is a "wow!" book: roving, startling, engaging.” —Washington Post “Kurlansky finds the world in a grain of salt.”—New York Times Book Review An unlikely world history from the bestselling author of Milk! and Cod You’ll never look at salt the same way again. The only rock we eat, salt has shaped civilization from the very beginning, and its story is a glittering, often surprising part of the history of humankind. A substance so valuable it served as currency, salt has influenced the establishment of trade routes and cities, provoked and financed wars, secured empires, and inspired revolutions. Populated by colorful characters and filled with an unending series of fascinating details, Salt is a supremely entertaining, multi-layered masterpiece.

Mark Kurlansky is the New York Times bestselling author of many books, including Cheesecake, The Food of a Younger Land, Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World; Salt: A World History; 1968: The Year That Rocked the World; and The Big Oyster: History on the Half Shell. He has received the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, Bon Appetit’s Food Writer of the Year Award, the James Beard Award, and the Glenfiddich Award. He lives in New York City.
