recently my daughter passed along books that were passed along to her. that's the type of book i really enjoy reading. one of those books is my current read, salt: a world history by mark kurlansky. probably the most important aspect of salt, through time, has been it's usage that has allowed people all around the world to have food. salting as a form of food preservation has made food available when it otherwise would not be.
